    Some info here>>>http://radiology.uchc.edu/eAtlas/GI/876.htm

    Fortunately the liver has great powers of recovery, but your friend should lay off the booze as alcohol will slow healing.

    At the right are seen several infarcts of the liver. Infarcts are uncommon because the liver has two blood supplies-portal venous system and hepatic arterial system. The infarcts seen here are yellow, with geographic borders and surrounding hyperemia. About half of liver infarcts occur with arteritis, and the remaining half are due to a variety of causes.
