Liver’s graves disease and its symptoms

Voluntary pollution?
The advantages of living in a modern society are accompanied by several drawbacks, among which a number of toxic substances to which modern man is wanted or needed, exposed. Air, water pollution, "pollution" with different food products, that noise pollution is more difficult (or may be impossible) to avoid in a big city. A strange choice for some to attend at voluntary intoxication body.
How is someone’s lung feeling, even though he lives in an already sufficiently polluted air, and adds a dose of "moderate" 10 cigarettes per day? Or what a person’s liver "believes", although it has to struggle every day with excessive lipid metabolism, with different E's power, with many kinds of chemicals hidden in precooked foods or even fresh, but over treated,has among all these to face a moderate amount of let’s say, 80 grams of pure alcohol? Adverse effects of alcohol on the liver have been reported since the XVI century. Today in the West, where B virus infection is spreading more limited, alcohol is the main cause of chronic hepatic diseases which is a very grave disease with symptoms very hard to treat.

Viruses with liver weakness
Viruses with liver tropism produce inflammatory processes in which the liver is the target organ. There are at least five viral agents responsible for acute liver damage: viruses A, B, C, E and delta. They have been identified, characterized and no specific methods for detecting them. A virus infection is relatively easy and usually easy to heal without sequelae. I also said "dirty hands disease", I think quite suggestive. B and C viruses are more aggressive – they are transmitted through blood, and not "fecal-oral”, like virus A.
From reversible to irreversible-Over 90% of ingested alcohol is metabolized in the liver, where it is transformed into metabolites and intermediate products. Daily consumption of alcohol overburden enzyme systems and attracts the accumulation of components with toxic action on the liver. Permanent alcohol consume leads to an increase in maintenance lesions and, eventually, to cirrhosis. Metabolism of lipids, proteins and carbohydrates suffer. The first consequence is the liver fat load, the so-called "fatty liver“ or hepatic steatosis being performed. Injury is reversible, meaning that it resolves after discontinuing alcohol consume. The other damage caused by alcohol is alcoholic hepatitis. It is characterized by lesions with destruction of liver cells (necrosis) and inflammatory lesions. The lesion is the most severe cirrhosis, a grave disease with symptoms that rarely can be treated. It is characterized by proliferation of fibrous proteins (collagen) which destroys the liver architecture and regeneration lead to anarchy.

Cirrhosis is irreversible and, at this stage, it can sometimes produce hepatocellular cancer! The amount of alcohol consumed and time consumption are crucial in terms of steatosis, hepatitis and liver cirrhosis appearance. The more they grow, the greater the possibility of reaching the threshold of irreversible cirrhosis. Alcohol is not the only cause for a suffering liver. Add viruses, hepatotoxic drugs, industrial toxins etc.. Although the liver has great regenerative capacity, persistent aggression or reactivity cause great individual suffering chronic liver installation.
