Fatty liver (steatosis of the liver) is one of the most common reasons people have abnormal liver blood tests. The liver is very active in handling fat. It takes lipoproteins (fats) from the blood, reworks them, and secretes them in a different form. The liver also makes and burns fat.he GOT or GPT (also known as AST and ALT) liver blood tests are often slightly elevated, usually less than twice normal. Ultrasound of the abdomen usually shows the liver is âechogenic,â that is more dense than usual toward sound waves.
Hi Erin, The normal kidney size of an adult human is about 10 to 13 cm long, about 5 to 7.5 cm wide and a thickness of about 3 to 4 cm.. Sometimes, the kidneys are not exactly the same in size. The left kidney is usually bigger.
The kidneys are essential organs in the body which function to remove water and waste products. They also produce important hormones such as erythropoietin, Vitamin D, and renin.The kidneys are located in the back of the abdomen, one on each side of the spinal column, at about the level of the lower ribs.The average weight of an adult human kidney is approximately one-quarter pound. Each kidney is approximately 4 inches long, 2.5 inches wide, and 1.5 inches thick.he kidneys also have a hormonal role. They are in part responsible for the conversion of Vitamin D to its active metabolite, which is important in the absorption of calcium from the intestine. Erythropoietin is manufactured by the kidney and stimulates the bone marrow to produce red blood cells.
