Abstract
Leukotrienes are potent biological mediators implicated in an increasing number of disease processes. This review outlines the basic biology of leukotrienes and discusses recent developments in our understanding of the specific role of cysteinyl-leukotrienes (cLTs) in cholestasis, hepatic inflammation, portal hypertension, and the pathogenesis of the hepatorenal syndrome (HRS).Entities:
