The liver is one of the most important organs in the body, performing over 500 functions, including: the fight against infection, processes digested food from the intestines, produces bile, a substance that helps digest food, store iron, vitamins and other chemicals necessary for the proper functioning of the body, controls the fat, blood glucose and amino acids, detoxifies and eliminates substances from the body that could otherwise poison.



The liver has an extraordinary capacity for regeneration. Can be removed three quarters of the liver and the rest will return to its original shape after a certain period of time. Liver’s lesions affect the liver's ability to fight against infections and to perform other tasks. There are several types of liver disease, but most important are viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, gallstones, liver disease related to alcohol consumption, liver cancer.

- Acute hepatitis" these diseases are treated only in hospitals for contagious diseases and it makes no sense to give natural treatments which, however, are not indicated with the administration of medication. You must be attentive when appear symptoms liver disease (in some cases there are no symptoms) and also you must strictly observe the doctor's directions.



- Chronic hepatitis
Most often, a chronic hepatitis follows a viral epidemic hepatitis, but may have other causes:
• hepatitis caused by viral infections from the pox, vaccinations, and disease ornithosis Cocksakie, rickettsiozes, infectious mononucleosis.
• Hepatitis caused by infectious microbial diseases: leptospirosis, salmonellosis, bacilli coli infections cocci (streptococcus viridians), tuberculosis, leprosy, syphilis.
• Liver parasitoids: malaria, amibiaza, schistosomiaza, leishmaniasis, ascaridoza, mycosis.
• Toxic hepatitis: insecticides deracinate substances, organic solvents, chloroform, and benzene.
• Hepatitis drug: cholestatic drugs sulfa preparations or arsenic, phenothiazine derivatives, male hormones, tuberculostatics, diuretics.
• liver by food deficiencies: low protein diet, choline, methionine, inositol, tryptophan, vitamin B12, malnutrition syndrome, states after gastrectomy, chronic malnutrition, chronic alcoholism or eating too many cooked foods in the diet without making some vitamins or fruits, vegetables, etc.
• liver caused by alcohol: these conditions the fatty infiltration of the liver by increasing the need for choline. It inhibits the oxidation of lipids, lipoprotein synthesis and removal insufficient blood lipids in the hepatocyte, it selectively stimulates the production of triglycerides and phospholipids, and hence blocking the synthesis of choline deficiency.



- Contributing factors
Hepatitis gets chronic just because some certain factors that allow or encourage the emergence of this chronic disease:
• route of penetration of the pathogen is very important. The largest number of chronic hepatitis caused by inoculation route. Hepatitis infection much more rarely gives oral chronic forms.
• Acute hepatitis with prolonged longer preicterice gives more cases of chronic hepatitis.
• Acute viral hepatitis reached at ages over 30 years and this case may present some symptoms livear disease.
• Coexisting diseases in the acute phase are not very important, no food, except for alcoholism (alcohol).
