The Division of Liver Diseases has been at the forefront of hepatology beginning with Fenton Schaffnerâs appointment as the inaugural Division Chief in 1965.
The liver is a reddish brown wedge-shaped organ with four lobes of unequal size and shape. A human liver normally weighs 1.44â1.66 kg (3.2â3.7 lb).It is both the largest internal organ and the largest gland in the human body. Located in the right upper quadrant of the abdominal cavity, it rests just below the diaphragm, to the right of the stomach and overlying the gallbladder.erminology related to the liver often starts in hepar-or hepat-from the Greek word for liver, hÄpar (á¼§ÏÎ±Ï, root hepat-, á¼¡ÏÎ±Ï-). There is currently no way to compensate for the absence of liver function in the long term, although liver dialysis techniques can be used in the short term.
