Infarction of liver - what does this mean
Infarction of the liver occurs when there is a blockage of the hepatic artery, which supplies blood to the liver, resulting in a lack of oxygen to the liver tissue and causing tissue death.
What happens during the disease - infarction of liver
Infarction of the liver is a condition in which a portion of the liver tissue becomes deprived of oxygen and nutrients due to an obstruction of the blood supply. this is commonly caused by a blockage in the hepatic artery, portal vein, or both, leading to ischemia and necrosis of the affected tissue. the obstruction can be due to a variety of causes, including emboli, thrombi, or tumors. as a result of the reduced blood flow, the liver cells become damaged and start to die, leading to inflammation and scarring of the liver.
