    What is liver immunology?
    Tremendous progress has been made in understanding the immune responses in the liver. Here, Heymann and Tacke provide a comprehensive overview of liver immunology, from homeostasis to disease. The cellular mediators of immune responses in the liver and triggers of hepatic inflammation are described.

    Is liver inflammation contagious?

    Dr. Anet Varghese

    Doctor of Medicine (MBBS) · 1 years of exp

    Hepatitis is a disease characterized by inflammation of the liver. Hepatitis is a general term that refers to any liver inflammation. Many illnesses and conditions cause inflammation of the liver. To answer whether or not hepatitis is contagious, these illnesses will be broken into two categories, infectious hepatitis and non infectious hepatitis. Infectious causes of hepatitis usually are, but not always, contagious. For example, hepatitis caused by viruses usually is contagious. However, many types of hepatitis are transferred mainly from person to person by blood-to-blood transfer, for example, individual sharing needles, acupuncture, sexual contact, and organ transplantation. Some infectious parasites (such as Plasmodium spp and Schistosoma spp) cause hepatitis in individuals but are not contagious from person to person. Most noninfectious causes of hepatitis are not contagious. Hepatitis caused by alcohol poisoning, medications, toxins, or poisons is not transmitted from person to person.

    What types of cells are found in the human liver?
    The human liver contains multiple populations of NK cells, T cells, and CD3+CD56+ natural T cells. These cells have distinct cytotoxic activities and Th1, Th2, and Th0 cytokine secretion patterns. (Journal of immunology. 1999;163(4):2314–2321)

    Is a healthy liver a site of complex immunological activity?
    However, we now know that the healthy liver is also a site of complex immunological activity mediated by a diverse immune cell repertoire as well as non-hematopoietic cell populations. In the non-diseased liver, metabolic and tissue remodeling functions require elements of inflammation.
