Steatorrhea Steatorrhea (or steatorrhoea) is the presence of excess fat in feces. Stools may be bulky and difficult to flush, have a pale and oily appearance and can be especially foul-smelling. An oily anal leakage or some level of fecal incontinence may occur.

- Steatosis is the earliest biomarker of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and is a necessary feature of disease for the development of fibrosis. It is also essential to quantify liver injury through the measurement of fibrosis to differentiate simple steatosis from nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.

Common Characteristics of Liver Disease Esophageal varices are dilated blood vessels within the walls of the lower part of the esophagus that are prone to bleeding. They can appear in people with severe liver disease. A diseased liver can cause portal hypertension, which is high blood pressure in the portal vein. The portal vein supplies the liver with blood. Over time, this pressure causes blood vessels to grow, called collateral blood vessels. These vessels act as channels to divert the blood under high pressure.

Steatorrhea Steatorrhea is the medical term for fat in stool. Fat in the stool can cause bulky stool that floats, has an oily or greasy appearance, and smells foul. Fat in the stool is fat that the digestive tract was unable to absorb. Temporary steatorrhea may result from dietary changes or intestinal infections. Steatorrhea that is persistent may result from diseases of the biliary tract, pancreas, or intestines. Fat absorption is dependent upon bile (which is produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder), pancreatic lipases (enzymes that break down fat), and normal intestine function.

- A collection of fats in the liver cells is called fatty liver. This condition is also called steatosis hepatis or steatorrhoeic hepatosis. Fatty liver has large amounts of fats (triglycerides) accumulating within the liver cells.

Wilson disease Definition. Wilson disease, or WD, is a rare inherited disorder that causes excess copper to accumulate in the body. It is also known as hepatolenticular degeneration. Steadily increasing amounts of copper circulating in the blood are deposited primarily in the brain, liver, kidneys, and the cornea of the eyes.efinition.

- Hepatic steatosis is a disease of the liver that is also known as fatty liver or fatty liver disease. It strikes approximately twenty percent of the adult population in the United States.hen hepatic steatosis progresses to the point where fatty deposits are ubiquitous throughout the liver, a diagnosis of hepatomegaly or enlarged liver may be warranted. Enlarged liver can also result from poisoning, infections, and as a symptom of serious liver disease in its earlier stages (as can fatty liver).

Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). Fatty liver, or hepatic steatosis, refers to excessive fat accumulation in the liver. In the absence of high alcohol consumption, it is termed non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).atients who have hypertension (high blood pressure), have high cholesterol, are overweight or obese, and have diabetes or insulin resistance are at greater risk to develop fatty liver disease.

Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) Fatty liver, or hepatic steatosis, refers to excessive fat accumulation in the liver. In the absence of high alcohol consumption, it is termed non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Obesity, and medical conditions such as hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes, are risk factors for the development of NAFLD.

- It is characterized by excessive fat accumulation in the liver (hepatic steatosis). Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis is a subgroup of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease characterized by steatosis with additional findings of liver cell injury and inflammation.

Humidity at Lockdown! I put my eggs on lockdown yesterday at around 12:00 pm. I am a little worried because the humidity is lower than 55% humidity and more around 50%. I was wondering if it would be okay if I opened the incubator for just a second while I add a little more water.f you do not think that it is a good idea, do you think it would be okay for the humidity to be lower than 55% humidity. I am also a little scared that it might get below 50% humidity, because it is still decreasing.

Causes of Steatorrhea Steatorrhea is caused by fat malabsorption due to cystic fibrosis, lipase deficiency or liver disorders. Following is a list of causes or underlying conditions (see also Misdiagnosis of underlying causes of Steatorrhea) that could possibly cause Steatorrhea includes: Malabsorption - see also causes of Malabsorption.

cholestasis Definition. 1  Cholestasis is a condition caused by rapidly developing (acute) or long-term (chronic) interruption in the excretion of bile (a digestive fluid that helps the body process fat). 2  Cholestasis is caused by obstruction within the liver (intrahepatic) or outside the liver (extrahepatic). The obstruction causes bile salts, the bile pigment bilirubin, and fats (lipids) to accumulate in the blood stream instead of being eliminated normally.

Fatty liver By considering the contribution by alcohol, fatty liver may be termed alcoholic steatosis or nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and the more severe forms as alcoholic steatohepatitis (part of alcoholic liver disease) and Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).ot to be confused with foie gras. Fatty liver, also known as fatty liver disease (FLD), is a reversible condition wherein large vacuoles of triglyceride fat accumulate in liver cells via the process of steatosis (i.e., abnormal retention of lipids within a cell).

Diindolylmethane  ( DIM) Information Resource Center Steatohepatitis (also known as fatty liver disease) is a type of liver disease, characterized by inflammation of the liver with concurrent fat accumulation in liver (steato- , meaning fat, hepatitis, meaning inflammation of the liver).ore deposition of fat in the liver is termed steatosis, and together these constitute fatty liver changes. Classically seen in alcoholics as part of alcoholic liver disease, steatohepatitis is also frequently found in people with diabetes and obesity and is related to metabolic syndrome.

Liver Degenerative Disease Wilson's Disease. Wilson's disease is an inherited disorder characterized by the liver's inability to metabolize copper, resulting in the accumulation of excessive amounts of copper in the brain, liver, kidney, cornea, and other tissues.holestasis has several causes, including obstruction of the bile ducts by the presence of gallstones or a tumor, drug and alcohol use, hepatitis, and existing liver disease (Glanze 1996). In the United States, an important cause of cholestasis and impaired liver function is the consumption of alcohol.

fatty liver Fatty liver is the collection of excessive amounts of triglycerides and other fats inside liver cells. Also called steatosis, fatty liver can be a temporary or long-term condition, which is not harmful itself, but may indicate some other type of problem. Left untreated, it can contribute to other illnesses. It is usually reversible once the cause of the problem is diagnosed and corrected.

Cirrhosis When the fat accompanies inflammation and liver cell damage, the condition is called nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, or NASH, with “steato” meaning fat, and “hepatitis” meaning inflammation of the liver. The inflammation and damage can cause fibrosis, which eventually can lead to cirrhosis.

- shock liver. A colloquial term for injury to the liver resulting from insufficient blood flow, e.g., in patients who have suffered an episode of severe hypotension. A hallmark of this condition is a sudden and marked elevation in liver enzyme levels, such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT). See also: liver.
