Introduction

Liver disease is any liver dysfunction that causes disease.liverResponsible for many of the key functions within the body, and if it becomes sick or injured, the loss of these functions can cause serious damage to the body. Liver disease is also known as liver disease.

Cause

Cells can become inflamed, such as hepatitis.

Bile flow may be blocked, such as cholestasis).

Cholesterol or triglycerides can accumulate, such as steatosis).

Blood flow to the liver may be affected.

Liver tissue may be destroyed by chemicals and minerals, or by abnormal cells such as cancer cells.

symptom

Dark complexion: Unlike sun-tanned skin, the face is dull and dull; in addition, severe dark circles are early symptoms of chronic liver disease, most of which are chronic hepatitis B.

Yellowing of the skin: People who have never had hepatitis, early symptoms of liver disease patients after chills, fever, nausea, vomiting, liver pain, extreme fatigue, sudden appearance of yellow eyes and skin, it indicates that acute jaundice hepatitis; If jaundice occurs in patients with chronic hepatitis, it indicates that the condition is aggravated.

Liver palm: It is very different from the color of the palm of an ordinary person. The color of the palm of an ordinary person is ruddy, and the palm of a patient with liver disease is white and bloodless.

Spider mites: There is a red dot in the middle, and there is a bloody filament around it. It is similar to the symptoms after mosquito bites. When the center of the sputum is pressed with one end of the sputum, the sputum disappears, and it will appear after release. The early symptoms of this liver disease patient can be Identification of other vasospasm. According to reports, males have spider mites on the surface, and 85% of them have different degrees of liver tissue lesions, of which about 30% are cirrhosis.

diagnosis

Many liver function tests (LFT) can be used to test the normal function of the liver. These tests typically present enzymes in the liver, tissues, metabolites or the most abundant blood in the product. Serum protein, serum albumin, serum globulin, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time.

Imaging tests, such as transient elastography, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, can be used to examine liver tissue and bile ducts. Liver biopsy can be performed to examine liver tissue to distinguish various conditions; tests such as elastography may reduce the need for biopsy in some cases.

treatment

Antiviral drugs can be used to treat infections such as hepatitis B. Other conditions can be controlled by slowing the progression of the disease, for example:

Treatment of autoimmune hepatitis by the use of steroid-based drugs.

A certain amount of blood is regularly taken from the vein (venous incision) of iron overloaded hemochromatosis.

Wilson's disease is a condition in which copper accumulates in the body and can be treated with copper-bound drugs that can be excreted from the urine.

Cholestatic liver disease (due toCystic fibrosisCause bile flow to be affected), may be calledUrsodeoxycholic acid(URSO, also known as UDCA) drugs.
