Understand the types of liver diseases and take care of "silent organs"
Active detection, expansion of treatment, elimination of hepatitis B harm to the liver is a non-existence of peripheral nerve. Unlike gastrointestinal, heart and other organs, once damaged will be severe pain, mostly viral hepatitis caused by hepatitis virus, divided into hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, hepatitis D, hepatitis E and other five types. Alcoholic hepatitis is a hepatitis disease caused by drinking a lot of alcohol for a long time, which is easy to overburden the liver. Causing damage to liver cells. In recent years, the number of fatty liver is increasing day by day, and it has become the first cause of human chronic liver disease, and it is the second largest liver disease after viral hepatitis. It is related to persistent hepatocyte injury, which can lead to liver fibrosis, and even progress to liver cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease. Autoimmune hepatitis is related to autoimmune response. Genetic susceptibility is considered to be the main factor of autoimmune hepatitis, which can rapidly evolve into liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver failure. Drug-induced hepatitis refers to liver damage caused by drugs.
The theme of the "National liver Love Day" is "take the initiative to detect, expand treatment and eliminate the harm of hepatitis B". Wang Yulin, director of the second Department of Gastroenterology (Endoscope Center) of the affiliated Hospital of Tianjin Academy of traditional Chinese Medicine, reminds that the liver is a "silent organ" without peripheral nerves. Even if pathological changes occur, there is generally no pain in the early stage. Unlike gastrointestinal, heart and other organs, once damaged will be severe pain.
Among the types of hepatitis, hepatitis B is the most frequently mentioned. The hepatitis we call in life is mostly viral hepatitis caused by hepatitis virus, which can be divided into five types, such as hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, hepatitis D and hepatitis E.
Alcoholic hepatitis is a hepatitis disease caused by long-term heavy drinking. Excessive alcohol intake can easily overburden the liver, leading to hepatocyte damage and inflammation.
In recent years, the increasing number of fatty liver has become the first cause of human chronic liver disease, a serious threat to human health, is the second largest liver disease after viral hepatitis, affecting at least 1/4 of the world's adult population. It is associated with persistent hepatocyte injury, which can lead to liver fibrosis and even progression to cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease.
Autoimmune hepatitis is related to autoimmune response, genetic susceptibility is considered to be the main factor of autoimmune hepatitis, mostly in women, serious can quickly evolve into liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver failure.
Drug-induced hepatitis refers to liver damage caused by drugs, such as cholestasis, hepatocyte necrosis, liver cirrhosis and so on.
Early hepatitis may be asymptomatic, or manifest as abdominal distension, nausea, loss of appetite and other digestive system symptoms, with the progression of the disease, there may be pain in the liver area, liver palms, spider nevus, skin or sclera yellow staining and other symptoms. Some patients can become chronic and develop into liver cirrhosis, and a few can develop into liver cancer. Hepatitis patients should develop good eating habits, usually eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and appropriately reduce the intake of sugar, fat and other food on the basis of meeting their daily needs. Appropriate exercise, weight control, adults should maintain at least six days a week, half an hour a day of moderate exercise. Quit smoking and drinking to avoid liver damage caused by harmful substances contained in smoking and alcohol. Avoid abusing drugs and health products that are harmful to the liver. (reporter Di Hui)
