ABSTRACT

Liver is vital to human health as it plays a variety of important roles in maintaining homeostasis, including synthesis of essential proteins, generation of bile and bile carrier, regulation of nutrients, as well as the metabolism and excretion functions. Understanding the manifestations of liver and biliary tract involvement in systemic diseases is of great significance not only for the diagnosis and differentiation of systemic diseases, but also for the diagnosis and treatment of the structural and functional changes of the hepatobiliary system. This article reviewed the clinical manifestations of liver and biliary tract involvement in autoimmune diseases, neoplastic diseases, hematological diseases, endocrine system diseases, nervous system diseases, sepsis, cardiovascular diseases, amyloidosis, and granulomatous diseases.
