In daily life
When we have symptoms such as "loss of appetite, nausea"
Will habitually think that there is something wrong with the stomach.
But you know what?
These symptoms may also occur when suffering from liver disease.
Shijiazhuang Fifth Hospital
Kang Haiyan, director of the sixth department of infection, reminded
For some patients with "stomach problems"
If the symptoms are not alleviated after treatment
You should check your liver function.
Be on guard against the possibility of liver disease
A man in Shijiazhuang did not think about diet and increased abdominal distension.
Go to the hospital to find out hepatitis
Six months ago, Mr. Zhao (a pseudonym) from Shijiazhuang was diagnosed with "chronic superficial gastritis" because of loss of appetite, decreased diet and abdominal distension, but the symptoms did not improve after oral stomach medicine. Recently, because he did not think about diet, increased abdominal distension and hiccups, he came to Shijiazhuang Fifth Hospital to see a doctor. Through a series of examinations, it was found that the patient not only suffered from "chronic superficial gastritis", but also had moderate damage to liver function. Finally, the doctor diagnosed chronic active hepatitis B and chronic superficial gastritis. Then, through comprehensive treatment such as protecting liver, lowering enzymes, antivirus and protecting gastric mucosa, Mr. Zhao's symptoms were obviously relieved and he was discharged after 15 days of treatment.
According to Kang Haiyan, Mr. Zhao is a very typical case of chronic hepatitis, which is very common in clinic. Generally speaking, when patients have gastrointestinal symptoms such as "loss of appetite, nausea", they will habitually consider it as "stomach disease". In fact, in addition to the well-known symptoms such as fatigue and yellow urine, more than 50% of patients will also be accompanied by digestive tract symptoms.
These factors may lead to liver injury.
Nearly 1/3 of patients with chronic hepatitis are infected with hepatitis virus (hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and other viruses). The second is liver injury caused by drugs and chemical poisons, such as anti-tuberculosis drugs, traditional Chinese medicine, chemotherapy drugs and so on. In addition, due to changes in people's eating habits, liver damage caused by alcohol consumption and high-fat diet is increasing year by year. In addition, some systemic diseases, such as autoimmune diseases and tumors, can also cause liver damage.
The occurrence of these symptoms should be vigilant.
In addition to abdominal distension, liver pain and other symptoms, the clinical manifestations of chronic liver disease are fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea and so on. Some patients may be accompanied by typical liver disease signs such as chronic liver disease face, liver palm, spider nevus and so on.
Laboratory examination showed abnormal liver function, positive virus markers, abdominal color ultrasound examination will generally appear liver echo enhancement and thickening and other manifestations.
However, there are some patients with no obvious clinical symptoms, only liver tissue necrosis and inflammation and other lesions. The course of chronic hepatitis is fluctuating or progressive. without proper treatment, some patients can progress to liver cirrhosis and liver cancer.
The doctor advises: have digestive tract symptoms
The liver should be examined at the same time
Kang Haiyan suggested that when there are gastrointestinal symptoms, we might as well check the liver function during the examination of gastrointestinal diseases. if the liver function is abnormal, we should further look for the cause and strive for early detection and early treatment so as not to delay the disease. In addition, chronic hepatitis is not terrible, it is preventable and treatable, and targeted treatment can be taken on the basis of protecting the liver and lowering enzymes.
