Abstract
Therapeutic methods for the enhancement of hepatic functioning are described, the methods including delivering a heptatic enhancement effective amount of light energy having a wavelength in the visible to near-infrared wavelength range to a target area of the liver. A heptatic enhancement effective amount of light energy is a selected or predetermined power density (mW/cm.sup.2) at the level of the liver tissue being treated, and may be determined by determining a surface power density of the light energy sufficient to deliver the selected power density of light energy to the target liver tissue taking into account factors that attenuate the light energy as it travels from the skin surface to the tissue being treated. The disclosed methods have utility in treatment of liver disease as well as in enhancing the functioning of a normal liver.
