How many chromosomes in liver cells?

As a general physician, sometimes I get asked very specific biological questions by curious patients. I was reviewing some biology facts for my own knowledge, and I'm just confirming, how many chromosomes do liver cells typically have?

Hey! So basically, like almost all our body cells, liver cells also have 46 chromosomes in total. I love reading up on this biology stuff on my health apps. It is pretty cool how our body works at a cellular level.

Humare sharir ke hisab se har jagah ek hi jaisa hota hai beta. Liver ke andar bhi wahi 46 hote hain jodi me dekho toh 23 jodi bolte hain. Bhagwan ne bada sundar banaya hai hume.

I am actually quite new to learning about anatomy and all this. So normal cells have 46 but do liver cells ever change their number during some illness? Please let me know if anyone knows about this, just curious.

Bro, my own brain cells are currently at zero because of no sleep, but liver cells definitely have 46. Don't stress too much about these numbers unless you are preparing for some exam or your doctor gave you a heavy lecture!

Biologically it is indeed 46 chromosomes in humans. But if you are asking this because of some liver report or health concern, please don't self-diagnose. It is always much safer to get your blood reports checked by a specialist doctor.

Honestly I got so scared when my doctor mentioned liver tests last month and I started googling all this. Did anyone else also get super anxious reading about cells and genetics when they were sick? I kept thinking what if my count is wrong.
