Symptoms of liver disease
Published on Jul 04 2010, in the categories: Liver Disease
In this article, I should offer you a clear brief about symptoms of liver disease, but first of all, I think all of us must have an opinion about what's the liver, how important is for our organism and especially, why should we take much care of it? And yes, here I'd like to have the attention of all those who are used to consume more than two glasses of alcohol daily. As you know, alcohol and of course, smoking aren't good for our organism that's the reason we should choose other manner of having fun or relaxing. But, I'd don't want to start the topic about symptoms of liver disease such in force from the first rows. Well, read the following lines and find out some general things about the liver.

General:
The liver is unique among body organs because of its regenerative capacity, the reunification of cells that were destroyed by disease or injury in the short term. But if repeated liver injuries, long-term (chronic diseases), changes become irreversible and interferes with its function. Being a very active body, when it is sick, the whole body suffers. The amount of alcohol consumed and time consumption that are crucial in terms of appearance steatosis, hepatitis and liver cirrhosis. The more they grow, the greater the possibility of reaching the threshold of irreversible cirrhosis.
Now it's time to find out some new things about this important organs of our body. In the following lines, you'll find out that some other people truly accorded their maximal attention to this organ. The liver is one of the few organs, if not sole, which has erected a monument in its name!

It was inaugurated in 1987 in the town of Balen, northern Spain, as a tribute to the organ which performs the functions silently, without ever crying, sacrificing himself. In fact, the monument is an alcoholic liver and liver was dedicated by a physician, with the stated aim that those who see it to significantly reduce alcohol consumption. But the most important part comes right now: even if the liver is a great body, strong and tough, with different skills and qualities surprising does not mean it is immune to all aggressions. Small things you do them daily can affect your liver like too much salt in your food, too many cigarettes (of course, smoking is not a good thing, but we all know that and few are those who can stop smoking), too many pills and not talking again and again about the uncontrolled need of drinking alcohol.
Vary slightly depending on the cause, treatment mainly aims symptoms (analgesics, transfusions in case of digestive hemorrhage, anastomosis provoked in case of portal hypertension) and balancing nutrition (intake of vitamins and trace elements). Severity of chronic hepatitis is related to the possibility of a appearance in time of irreversible liver failure (blood clotting disorders, hepatic encephalopathy, metabolic acidosis) and a portal hypertension (embarrassed of blood flow in portal vein). This trend is caused by the formation of cirrhosis. Plus cirrhosis may evolve to hepatitis carcinoma (liver cancer).
