#hepatic adenoma

[honeysuckle-venom]

Got my MRI results back, it's not terrible I guess but it's also...not great. I'm pretty unhappy actually. I was really, really hoping for more shrinking. But while the giant one in the left lobe has shrunk a little bit more, the biggest one in the right lobe has grown! It's now 8.4 cm x 6.7 x 7.1 cm, when before it was only 7.6 x 6.1 x 6.4. I'm really devastated that one has grown, I don't exactly know what that means for me but it's not good! And I remembered that I have a LOT of tumors, like, a lot, because when I looked at the scans last year honestly my liver looked like it was more tumor than liver. But I had kind of convinced myself that maybe I was exaggerating that in my head and actually only had like 6 or 8? But the report says "The lesions are too numerous to count [much greater than 10]." So it was how I remembered it, lots and lots of large tumors everywhere. Bc technically anything greater than 5cm is fairly high risk/often operated on, and I have several that are bigger than 5cm. But they can't operate because there are too many and so it's pointless/they can't remove enough of the liver safely. And now some are growing and even if some are shrinking they aren't shrinking much. The overall impression was that this scan was "similar to prior." Which is better than significantly worse but I was really really hoping for better news. I'll have to set up an appointment with a hepatologist to really discuss the results but...at first glance this kind of sucks.

#text post #my post #at least my unrelated blood work looked good. my cholesterol and vitamins and stuff is better #but yeah. this sucks. #i can't believe one of the big ones grew. idk what that means but i'm a bit freaked out about it #and it just. sucks that there are so so so many #the images really do look like my liver is at least 75% tumor when you see them it's wild :( #and by wild i mean kind of terrifying #medical cw #medical tw #hepatic adenoma #hepatocellular adenoma

what are hepatic adenomas? what are they up to in there?

hepatic adenomas are a (usually benign) tumour on the liver. they are solitary tumours, meaning they usually just pop up alone. i however have four.

they very rarely turn into cancer but do tend to rupture, meaning they burst and kind of just bleed everywhere and that's not ideal for a human being wanting to live. i essentially have four time bombs chilling on a very valuable organ right now!

why do i worry about them rupturing? the bigger they are the more likely they are to rupture, oestrogen is known to grow them. i am a woman. the dots are connecting...

how are they treated? in my case, they aren't. mine are not large enough to be considered for a resection and even if they were, it would be a very risky surgery for me as i have multiple hanging out in different areas. i get a fun MRI scan every year and a few ultrasounds here and there so that's something!

how do i keep myself safe? i don't play contact sports and generally avoid getting punched in the liver (a task when working in childcare) i also carry various forms of medical ID and train everyone around me on the "what to do if i start dying very suddenly"

i have checked the tags on here and it seems i am a rare bird on every website, i'm writing so much because i simply don't want another person like me, struggling to find any personal information or comfort to spend hours scrolling through decade old forums or wishing there were another like them somewhere... so if that's you message me RIGHT NOW.

Medical professionals were aware of at least one case of cancer thought to be linked to a hormonal medication taken to aid gender transitioning, leaked documents from a worldwide transgender nonprofit organization suggest.

In a report released on Monday, the think tank Environmental Progress published hundreds of messages it said were from an internal forum of members of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), in which they discussed gender-affirming treatment and the complications that had arisen from particular cases.

The report comes amid a national debate on gender-affirming health care, as states across the U.S. have introduced legislation to limit treatment for young people who identify as transgender.

Among the messages is one, dated February 24, 2022, in which a person—identified by the report as a doctor—said a colleague developed hepatocarcinomas, or liver tumors, after eight to 10 years of taking testosterone.

"To the best of my knowledge, it was linked to his hormonal treatment," the message said. "Unfortunately I don't have much more details since it was so advanced that he opted for palliative care and died a couple months after."

Newsweek could not independently verify the authenticity of the messages, which appear in the report as screenshots and printouts, and many have names redacted.

When approached for comment, a WPATH spokesperson did not confirm the veracity of the messages, but said it "stand[s] opposed to individuals who misrepresent and de-legitimize the diverse identities and complex needs of this population through scare tactics."

A potential link between testosterone—which regulates pubic development, and which biological males produce naturally more than females—and liver cancer has been noted before.

A 2020 paper published in The Lancet detailed one case in which a 17-year-old transgender man developed liver tumors after taking testosterone. The patient was advised to stop taking testosterone, and the study said the relationship between the hormone and the tumor growth was unknown.

Another study, published in October, found cases in which transgender individuals receiving hormone therapies developed liver tumors, but it said the results were "not sufficient to conclude that there is an association" between the two.

Gender-affirming hormone therapies have also been linked to other forms of cancer—though research has so far been inconclusive.

A 2019 study of transgender adults in Amsterdam found there was an "increased risk of breast cancer in trans women" who had received hormone therapy compared to biological men.

However, last year, another study in the U.S. found that while there were signs of cellular changes with some hormone treatments, testosterone "does not appear to increase risk for breast cancer" and "additional studies are needed to investigate the mechanism responsible for these changes at a cellular level and its role in cancer development."

The message referring to a case of liver cancer was seemingly in response to an earlier one, posted in December 2021, detailing an instance of a 16-year-old patient who had developed hepatic adenomas, benign liver lesions, after being on testosterone for a little over a year and a synthetic form of progesterone.

Hepatic adenomas are rare, but they are associated with oral contraceptive pills and are seen in patients treated with anabolic steroids, according to the National Library of Medicine.

In the messages, the WPATH members discussed academic papers, asked for advice on issues surrounding gender-affirming care and shared their professional experiences. Environmental Progress said the leaks showed members appeared to be improvising treatments and, in some cases, spoke out against safeguarding requirements.

Michael Shellenberger, the president and founder of Environmental Progress, said in a statement that the leaks show that WPATH members "know that the so-called 'gender-affirming care' they provide can result in life-long complications and sterility and that their patients do not understand the implications."

While proponents of gender-affirming care say that such treatments help overcome gender dysphoria—and that barriers to treatment can worsen the mental health of those who feel they are trapped in the wrong body—opponents say that a rise in young people exhibiting gender dysphoria may be in part a product of wider mental health issues that should be identified and addressed before changing a person's body.

Dr. Marci Bowers, president of WPATH, told Newsweek in a statement that it "is and has always been a science- and evidence-based organization whose recommendations are widely endorsed by major medical organizations around the world.

"We are the professionals who best know the medical needs of trans and gender diverse individuals—and stand opposed to individuals who misrepresent and de-legitimize the diverse identities and complex needs of this population through scare tactics."

Bowers added: "Gender, like genitalia, is represented by diversity. The small percentage of the population that is trans or gender diverse deserves healthcare and will never be a threat to the global gender binary."

Update 3/6/24, 4:10 a.m. ET: This article was updated to include comment from Marci Bowers of WPATH.

[ad_1] Newswise — The September issue of The American Journal of Gastroenterology includes several articles on liver-associated conditions and age-related impacts on disease. The issue highlights new clinical science and reviews including young-onset adenoma diagnosis among US veterans; the financial, psychological, and physical burden of inflammatory bowel disease; and SARS-CoV2 infection or diagnosis. This month we also published articles on ulcerative colitis, hepatitis C, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, pancreatic cancer screening, anorectal conditions, eosinophilic esophagitis, irritable bowel syndrome, and more.Several articles are highlighted below and access to any articles from this issue, or past issues, is available upon request. The College is also able to connect members of the press with study authors or outside experts who can comment on the articles.Risk of Incident and Fatal Colorectal Cancer After Young-Onset Adenoma Diagnosis: A National Cohort StudyCasey and Demb, et al.In this study, authors compared incident and fatal colorectal cancer (CRC) in US veterans with young-onset adenomas (YOAs), defined as adenoma detected in adults under age 50, to those with a normal colonoscopy. YOA diagnosis was found to be associated with an 8-fold increase in incident CRC risk compared to those with a normal colonoscopy. However, overall 10-year CRC incidence was relatively low among both groups and no differences in fatal CRC risk were observed.Visual AbstractSignificant Dose-Response Association of Physical Activity and Diet Quality with Mortality in Adults with Suspected NAFLD in a Population StudyVilar-Gomez, et al.This analysis used 2011-2014 NHANES data to examine potential association of higher levels of physical activity and diet quality with better survival rates in NAFLD. Physical activity levels were recorded using a wrist-worn triaxial accelerometer and diet quality was determined using detailed reporting of food intake over two 24-hour time periods. The authors found that higher diet quality and increased physical activity, in both duration and intensity, were associated with lower risk of all-cause and cardiovascular-specific mortality.Visual Abstract  Comparative Speed of Early Symptomatic Remission with Advanced Therapies for Moderate-Severe Ulcerative Colitis: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-AnalysisAhuja, et al.This review compared the speed of symptom relief of ulcerative colitis in eight approved therapies and a placebo. Based on data from 14 randomized controlled trials, upadacitinib was significantly more effective in achieving symptom remission within two weeks compared to other treatments and placebo. Ozanimod was found to be the least effective advanced therapy for symptom remission at two weeks.Visual Abstract About the American College of GastroenterologyFounded in 1932, the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) is an organization with an international membership of over 18,000 individuals from 86 countries. The College’s vision is to be the preeminent professional organization that champions the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of digestive disorders, serving as a beacon to guide the delivery of the highest quality, compassionate, and evidence-based patient care.

Laparoscopic Hepatobiliary Surgery In Delhi By Dr. Neeraj Goel

What Is Laparoscopic Hepatobiliary Surgery?

Laparoscopic hepatobiliary surgery is the minimally invasive surgery. These surgeries are done to treat the conditions related to liver, biliary system, and pancreas. The doctor advises these surgeries when the patients does not respond to medicines.

What Are The Various Diseases That Are Treated Thorugh Hepatobiliary Surgery In Delhi?

There are several diseases that can be treated with the laparoscopic hepatobiliary surgery. However, the doctor only recommends the surgery when the non-invasive methods of treatment are unable to treat the patients or hep in reducing their symptoms. Some of the disease treated with laparoscopic hepatobiliary surgery are:

Cholecystitis: Gall bladder is an organ generally considered as a part of digestive system. It is present just below the liver. It stores the bile synthesized by the liver. Any inflammation in the gall bladder is known as cholecystitis. Laparoscopic hepatobiliary surgery is used to treat this condition.

Cholelithiasis: Surgeons may also perform Laparoscopic hepatobiliary surgery for the management of cholelithiasis. This condition involves the presence of stones in the gall bladder.

Choledocholithiasis: It is also a disease of gall bladder and common bile duct. Laparoscopic hepatobiliary surgery is the procedural intervention for this disease. In this condition, the patient had gallstone in the common bile duct.

Choledochal cysts: This is a congenital condition. The patient with this condition have a cystic dilation of the bile ducts.

Biliary colic: Biliary colic is characterized by the presence of pain in the abdominal cavity. This pain is due to the blockage of bile duct due to gall stones. Doctors may perform Laparoscopic hepatobiliary surgery if the pain is not relieved through medicines and other treatments.

Biliary atresia: Biliary atresia is a congenital condition. Congenital conditions are present from the birth. In this condition, the patients have blockage in the bile ducts, i.e., the tubes that carry the bile from the liver to gall bladder. The exact cause of this condition is not known.

Liver cell carcinoma: Also known as hepatocellular carcinoma, this is the most common primary liver cancer. People with chronic liver diseases, such as hepatitis C, hepatitis B, and cirrhosis are at high risk for developing this condition. People who drink excessive alcohol and have fatty liver disease may develop hepatocellular carcinoma.

Gallbladder and bile duct cancers: Gallbladder cancers are now being treated laparoscopically in experienced centers with GI surgeons with high levels of skills.

Hydatid cysts: Echinococcus granulosismay also cause liver cysts. The cysts caused by this organism is known as hydatid cysts. The doctors may perform the Laparoscopic liver surgery to treat this condition.

Benign Liver lesions: Haemangiomas, focal nodular hyperplasia, and hepatocellular adenomas are the common benign liver tumours. Although in most cases the treatment is not required. However, the doctor may perform laparoscopic liver surgery in case the treatment is required.

What Are The Various Types Of Hepatobiliary Surgery In Delhi?

Various types of hepatobiliary surgery are available in Delhi. You should opt for the best laparoscopic GI surgeon in Delhi. Some of laparoscopic hepatobiliary surgery are:

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy: This is the procedure to remove the gallbladder. The doctor performs this surgery when the patients with gallstones have infection, pain, and inflammation. The doctor performs the minimally invasive surgery. The doctors discharge the patient on the day of surgery or the next day. The patients had fast recovery time.

Laparoscopic liver resection: Laparoscopic liver resection is the choice of treatment to remove the lesions of the liver. The lesions may be benign or cancerous. Before the liver resection surgery, the doctor advises the patients to limit the intake of alcohol and to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle.

Pancreatic Resection: The procedure of removing the complete pancreas or a part it is known as pancreatic resection. If the complete pancreas is removed, the procedure is known as pancreatectomy. The doctor performs the pancreatectomy in cases of sever pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer.

Laparoscopic Hepaticojejunostomy: The doctor performs this surgery in case of biliary strictures and injury to the biliary system. During this procedure, the surgeon creates a connection between the jejunum and hepatic duct. The doctor performs this surgery to ensure the smooth flow of bile from the hepatic system to the digestive system. This will serve multiple purposes. First, bile is required for digestion. Second, accumulation of bile in the hepatic system may cause damage to the organs, such as liver.

Laparoscopic Radical Cholecystectomy: Treatment of gallbladder cancer is now being done increasingly with minimally invasive means with good success. Laparoscopic surgery helps in faster recovery with good oncologic outcomes.

What Are The Advantages Of Laparoscopic Hepatobiliary Surgery?

Laparoscopic hepatobiliary system offers several advantages to the patient. It minimizes the post-operative complications and also reduces the risk of morbidity and mortality that may occur due to traditional open surgery. Further, only the small incisions are made during the surgery, thus there is a less scar formation. Due to minimal exposure of the internal tissues, there is low risk of infection. Laparoscopic surgery reduces the post-operative recovery time and reduces the length of stay at the hospital.

How The Doctor Performs Laparoscopic Heaptobiliary Surgery In Delhi?

The doctor makes one small incision in to the hepatobiliary system at the site where he wants to perform the surgery. The surgeon then inserts the laparoscope, a tube with the camera, to explore the internal diseases or abnormal organ. Once the site of surgery is evaluated, the doctor makes other incisions to insert the surgical instruments. The doctor then performs the surgery by viewing the internal organs on the external monitor.

What Are The Complications Of Hepatobiliary Surgery?

As compared to the traditional open surgery, the risk of complications with the laparoscopic hepatobiliary surgery is significantly lower. Some of the complications include infection, pain, bleeding, tissue damage, and damage to nearby organs.

Where Should I Get More Information About The Laparoscopic Hepatobiliary Surgery In Delhi?

You, as a patient, have the right to get detailed information about your diseases and the possible treatment options. Please contact to know more about the disease and treatment.

Different Types Of Liver Cancer

The liver is considered to be the body's powerhouse. It is located beneath the diaphragm located on the right part of your abdomen. It is a key part of the metabolism of our body. It regulates blood sugar levels as well as filters blood. In the event of a malfunction, this organ could cause a variety of health issues.

The process of liver cancer starts with the formation of tumours. The tumour forms when liver cells known as hepatocytes, cells in the bile duct or the cells that line blood vessels within the liver expand in an uncontrolled way.

Liver cancer is classified as the secondary or primary cancer. Primary liver cancer develops from benign tumours such as Hemangiomas, hepatic adenomas and the focal hyperplasia of nodular origin. Cancer may be caused due to other ailments such as chronic kidney disease or viral infection and Hepatitis B or C as well as other liver toxins. Cancer can be further classified into:

* Hepatoma and hepatocellular Carcinoma: The reason is an uncontrolled increase in the number of hepatocyte cells from the liver. Adults, specifically those with liver cirrhosis are more vulnerable. This can happen to teenagers and children, too and is known as "hepatoblastoma". The condition is prevalent in a large number of Americans.

* Cholangiocarcinomas or cancers of the liver ducts: This type of cancer is prevalent in women.

*Hemangiosarcoma as well as Angiosarcoma The two forms of cancer are extremely rare. The former begins in blood vessels. It's more prevalent when children are younger than four years of age. The rate of survival is higher than the second kind of cancer because the rate of progression is slower. The latter is cancer that begins within blood vessels in the liver. Its rate of progress is quite quick, which makes survival rates less.

Secondary liver cancer happens when the cancerous cells within the liver begin to expand. This kind of tumour is known by the term metastatic tumour. Most often, primary cancer of the liver can cause secondary cancer. Other causes include colorectal cancer in advanced stages kidney cancer and lung cancer and other causes. Cancer starts from organs like the pancreas, stomach, or colon and eventually expands to the liver with the blood flow through these organs into the liver. Cancer can also propagate through the lymphatic system.

The symptoms in the beginning stage of cancer might not be obvious. In advanced stages, there are symptoms such as fatigue, fever, fatigue, weakness, or weight loss. When secondary cancer is present, the symptoms include enlarged spleens as well as lethargy and stomach discomfort or nausea.

Treatments for liver cancer may comprise chemotherapy, surgery radiotherapy, PDT and radiosurgery. There is also immunotherapy

Silcroza Capsule is the dietary supplement for liver by Sanchomee Herboveda

Liver is both the largest solid organ and gland in the body. It’s located on the upper right side of the abdomen, just below the diaphragm and weighs around 1.5 kg in the average adult. The liver carries out more than 500 functions in our body related to metabolism, energy storage and detoxification of waste. It is a secretory gland because it has a specialized structure that is designed to allow it to make and secrete bile into the bile ducts. It’s also an endocrine gland since it makes and secretes chemicals directly into the blood that have effects on other organs in the body.

Liver problem is a general term that refers to any condition affecting our liver. There are various factors that damage the liver; viruses, alcohol and obesity. Over time, conditions that damage the liver can lead to liver cirrhosis, which can lead to liver failure, a life-threatening condition. Liver disease can be inherited (genetic), but early treatments may give the liver time to heal.

Types of liver diseases

Some of the most common types include:

Alcohol-related liver disease :- Regularly drinking too much alcohol

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease :- Being very overweight may cause fat to build up in the liver liver

Hepatitis :- Catching a viral infection and regularly drinking too much alcohol

Haemochromatosis :- A gene that runs in families and may be passed from parents to children

Primary biliary cirrhosis :- May be caused by a problem with the immune system

 

Causes of Liver Problems

A) Infection

Parasites and viruses are the main causes of liver diseases, it infects the liver, causes inflammation which ultimately reduces liver functioning. The virus spreads through blood, contaminated food/water or close contact with an infected person.

The most common types of virus infections are:

· Hepatitis A

· Hepatitis B

· Hepatitis C

B) Immune system abnormality

Some diseases directly attack our immune system which later affects your liver. Examples of autoimmune liver diseases include:

· Autoimmune hepatitis

· Primary biliary cholangitis

· Primary sclerosing cholangitis

C) Genetics

An abnormal gene inherited from one or both parents can cause various substances to build up in our liver, resulting in liver damage. Genetic liver diseases include:

· Hemochromatosis

· Wilson's disease

· Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency

D) Cancer and other growths

Examples include:

· Liver cancer

· Bile duct cancer

· Liver adenoma

E) Other

Some other causes of liver disease include:

· Chronic alcohol abuse

· Fat accumulation in the liver (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease)

· Certain prescription or over-the-counter medications

· Certain herbal compounds

Symptoms of Liver Problem

Liver disease in the early stages doesn't always cause noticeable signs, but once you start experiencing some symptoms, it indicates that the liver is already damaged and scarred. Symptoms sometimes vary and are dependent upon the exact type of liver disease a person is currently suffering.

Symptoms of liver disease include;

Jaundice

Abdominal pain and swelling,

Swelling in the ankles and legs

Itchy skin

Chronic fatigue

Dark urine and pale stool color

Nausea or vomiting

Diarrhoea

Loss of appetite

Weight loss

Fever

Bloated abdomen

Abdominal pain in the upper right side

Anaemia and vomiting blood

Altered sleep pattern (awake at night)

Drowsiness.

Tendency to bruise easily

Preventive Measures for Liver Problems

 Liver dysfunction can increase risks of developing liver diseases, metabolic disorder and type 2 diabetes. Thus exposure to harmful toxins and chemicals in the food and environmental pollutants can damage the liver and lead to its failure. Thus, early preventions can help the individual reduce the risk of developing any liver centric problems.

i) Maintain healthy balanced diet and consume multivitamins.

ii) One must quit smoking and drinking alcohol.

iii) Reduce intake of salty food and replace it with natural herbs.

iv) Regular exercise and maintain body fat.

v) Do get proper Hepatitis A and B vaccinations.

I'm just really, really scared about my liver. I'm only 26. If the tumors are growing, are they going to keep growing? Someday will I need a transplant? It's a real possibility, and it's terrifying. And I'm a little concerned that I don't just have hepatic adenomas, I might have a rare disease called hepatic adenomatosis. I'm not certain, it's hard to tell, I have to ask the doctor if I have it or not. No one mentioned that term last year, but this time on my MRI report it said "findings consistent with hepatic adenomatosis." And so I tried to research that a bit.

You know you might have a really rare disease when there isn't even a Wikipedia page for it lol. No WebMD page, no Mayoclinic page. The only articles I've found were clearly written up for an audience of medical students and doctors.

From what I can tell from the articles I've read, hepatic adenomatosis is diagnosed when there are 10 or more tumors, and I have significantly more than 10. Which would indicate that that's what I have. But since the doctors didn't mention that last time I'm not certain if that's definitely what I have or not. I'm going to ask at my appointment in two weeks. Just. So many questions and I'd really really like to get to ask them now instead of waiting until the 29th.

#text post #my post #it's just. stressful #the information out there about hepatic adenomatosis is pretty scary #and i'm like 85% sure that's what i have based on the articles i've been reading #but i'll confirm with the doctor #i really really really hope the hepatologist is a) competent and b) not mean #she doesn't have to be nice. competency is more important. but she has to not be mean like the last one #medical cw #hepatic adenomas #hepatic adenomatosis

what's wrong with me? why am i here?

hello! i'm lilly, i am 18 and from the uk. i'm diagnosed with a rare type of liver tumour- well actually four of them. they are called hepatic adenomas of heptocellular adenomas... i'm on this absolute memory lane of a website to try and find ANY information or people with the condition (this ain't my first rodeo...)

[mcatmemoranda]

Cavernous hemangioma is the most common primary benign liver tumor. Hepatic hemangiomas are mesenchymal in origin and usually are solitary. They are composed of masses of blood vessels that are atypical or irregular in arrangement and size and they start in blood vessels. Most of these tumors do not cause symptoms and do not need treatment.

Two other benign but less common liver tumors are infantile hemangioendothelioma (extremely rare) and hepatic adenomas (also uncommon). Liver adenomas are mainly found in women using estrogens as contraceptives, or in cases of steroid abuse. In most cases, they are located in the right hepatic lobe and are frequently seen as solitary.

Note that focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) is the second most common benign tumor of the liver.

To summarize, common benign tumors of the liver include hemangioma, hepatic adenoma, focal nodular hyperplasia, liver cysts, lipoma, fibroma, and leiomyoma.

Also note that cholangiocarcinoma, or bile duct cancer, is a fast-growing and lethal form of liver cancer. It is a relatively rare, but aggressive tumor that grows from the bile ducts of the liver.

I should really stop reading about the tumor I have because the more I learn about it the more furious I get with my doctors lmao

#definitive diagnosis requires a biopsy #and resection is reccommended for all hepatic adenomas as long as the patient is a viable surgical candidate. #which i damn well should be. but they arent doing anything. #also! there's different types! and 50% of them cause pain! and every doctor has told me they don't! #and being pregnant would be really dangerous for me. which nobody told me. #fuck my doctors none of them have given me any information about this condition at all #personal
