Parenchymal liver disease is any disease of the functional cells of the liver, as opposed to the bile duct cells or supporting cells. One example of a parenchymal liver diseas â¦ e is cirrhosis, in which the liver cells shut off and die.
Calf muscle strains can also developed due to repetitive overuse of the calf muscles usually with running and jumping, especially if the muscles are weak or tight. Pulled calf muscles are the most common cause of calf pain in runners.ther common terms for the condition include a calf muscle strain or torn calf muscle. Essentially, what all these terms refer to is when the calf muscles are pulled beyond their normal elastic limit, overstretching them and damaging some or all of muscle fibres.
The calf is swollen and tender. To rule this out alone I would see your primary doctor. Other causes are more rare. A Baker's cyst is a common condition in which part of the joint behind the knee forms a growth. This is normally not concerning, but if it ruptures it can cause a swollen and tender calf. If this is the case, pain medicine can be given until it heals. Other causes could be from muscle inflammation--a myositis. There are many types of myositis which can be from many causes. Simple muscle inflammation from overuse is another cause--in fact the most likely. Fluid overload--from heart problem or kidney problem or liver problems can also cause swollen calves. Again these are more likely in older patients--it is possible and must be ruled out. I would see your doctor to rule out a few concerning causes of swollen calf.
