There are also many other things you should know about liver disease, chronic hepatitis and about symptoms liver disease. In the following lines, I'll try to explain you how a patient who register some symptoms liver disease can switch to chronic phase of hepatitis. Time says its word in this majoe problem of health and sometimes, we must pay even more attention to our body and to sings that our organism sends to us.



-How to switch to chronic phase
• direct passage - in this case, the acute phase, jaundice is not inferior, and the man gets a shade of gray-green skin, often adding itching, liver remains high, is present and splenomegaly (enlarged spleen volume). Sometimes, jaundice disappears, but the morphological changes, clinical and liver function, persist. Usually happens in cases of acute liver dystrophy. Chronic Hepatitis cholestatic is usually acute viral hepatitis in the chronicles of the past directly.
• Transfer to chronicle the wave spikes - no full recovery in the intervals. Intervals may occur rarely with complete recovery.



• Moving the chronicles after a long latency phase (months or even years) - after an apparent clinical cure, functional, etc.
The last two are the most common.

Most liver patients have no symptoms - sometimes directly to the patient is diagnosed with cirrhosis without having had any symptoms until then.
Regarding the patients with symptoms, I’ll write in the following lines the symptoms liver disease:
• Unexplained fatigue (attention, fatigue usually is not a symptom of disease, but stress, overwork, lack of rest, overwork, etc.)
• Drowsiness unjustified
• Other symptoms:
-a Jaundice (jaundice is usually mistaken by patients with acute hepatitis, which is usually a disease, but this symptom is often given by other diseases - gallstones, tumors of the pancreas or liver, hemolysis, etc.)
-by an orange colored urine (should be known that morning urine is usually darker colored than the other throughout the day)
-Seats may be a discoloration that looks like a putty
-itching skin (pruritus)
-bleeding from gums when brushing
-Hair on the chest (men)
-a decrease in sexual desire or potency
-a breast enlargement in men
-a reddening of the palms (liver palms)
-a retraction of the tendon palmar
-an appearance of small blood vessels in the shape of a star (stars liver) on the chest or back
-Increasing the emergence of an abdominal fluid (ascites), and swollen legs (edema)



These symptoms are not specific to liver disease, can occur in other diseases, so it is good for evaluating join ill with such symptoms should be made by the doctor, who can turn from the start that exploration necessary for diagnosis correctly.
Pain in the liver is rare in normal liver diseases (chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, cysts, hemangioamy), it is usually on gall disease.
