The extent to which you identify himself? Liver is widely used in daily word phrase rarely get attention from the health point of rare cases of severe disease from heart problems, kidney or cancer.
In essence, many of us take the liver as it is among the fastest growing organ again. Potential causes of the rare liver problems in adults, as well as the treatment of liver disease may be shorter than other diseases.
Lately, more attention began to be given to this unfortunate organs due to increased cases of viral infections that cause hepatitis or liver inflammation. However, in general, people still take for granted the importance of this organ in their daily lives.
Liver Function
Liver is the largest internal organ and gland in the human body that plays an important role in detoxification and metabolism. Heart is one of the major organs in the abdomen and under the ribs.
Position of the liver is usually under the ribs to the right, but there are also individuals whose heart is located on the left.
The organ is a lot of functions, not only in the metabolism of food as a remedy but also toxins or poisons into the body. Break down drugs and toxins function is very important to keep the poison and damage the body.
It also can change some of the active ingredients that can be used by the body and removes harmful by-products produced by faeces or urine.
It also produces bile which is stored in the gall bladder to be used in the digestion of fat. In addition, the liver also functions as a storage plant for sugar, fat, protein and vitamins will be issued according to the needs of the body.
Liver Damage
All these functions will be interrupted in case of damage to the liver. Damage can lead to liver failure or liver function rapidly (acute) and can cause coma patients as a result of toxins in the body.
Although acute liver failure is rare, the number of deaths among patients who experienced very high and can occur within a few weeks.
Patients may also experience severe bleeding due to liver failure to produce blood clotting factors.
Liver Damage Symptoms
Symptoms of liver problems are loss of appetite, vomiting, fever and body becomes itchy in many places. Patients may also show symptoms of yellow eyes and urine golden tea 'O' sauce.
Patients may also be noticed that the stools are less sticky because the liver can not produce bile (which gives the stools). Patients may also experience symptoms of jaundice, nausea, pain in the liver and liver inflammation.
The main cause of liver inflammation in Malaysia are caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi or parasites. The virus is a major cause of hepatitis in the country, with the Hepatitis A virus (HAV) is spread through food and drink most is found.
In addition to HAV, hepatitis type B virus (HBV) and C (HCV) is common in Malaysia than type D, E, F and G are rare in Malaysia. Hepatitis E virus (HEV) has characteristics similar to HAV, such as spread through water or food handling.
HEV, however, frequently found in India and Bangladesh and can be brought into this country by immigrants from these countries.
Liver remedy
Potential liver to regenerate, and faster than other organs enable it replace the damaged liver tissue. However, this does not mean that patients do not need to 'keep faith' because they think the heart can repair itself.
All hepatitis patients need to control diet, nutrient intake and avoidance of medications unless necessary. Patients need to reduce fat things, plenty of carbohydrate intake and stay away from taking medication, including paracetamol.
They also need to ensure adequate intake of protein and water to help the recovery and heart and take vitamin supplements such as vitamin K for bleeding problems.
For HAV infection is most true for hepatitis due to virus infection, most patients will heal itself and need not be admitted. HAV patients estimated to be fully recovered after about 45 days, and the virus will be completely gone from the patient.
HBV and HCV infection, however, may require treatment with certain drugs such as interferon, drugs to reduce viral replication and the drugs to encourage the production of antibodies. Nearly 10% of patients with HBV and 50% of HCV patients may be suffering from cirrhosis and liver cancer. In terms of the effectiveness of drugs used, the more difficult to treat HCV infection because of the effectiveness of the treatment only 40% compared to 60% for HBV.
Liver Transplant
Special ability to regenerate the liver to facilitate liver donation as only a small part of the organs needed for transplant to patients in need. Liver tissue can grow back into the liver is full even if only a 25% healthy liver tissue.
However, liver transplant is usually done in cases of hepatitis not caused by a virus or bacteria. Patients with liver damage due to infection has transferred the risk of new heart also infected.
If no virus or bacteria causes hepatitis in a patient, the doctor may consider doing a liver transplant. Liver transplantation for hepatitis caused by chemicals or toxins easier.
However, no toxins should be removed first, and patients with addiction (drugs or alcohol) should be restored before the liver transplant performed.
This will avoid wastage of donated liver because it will be damaged if the toxins, drugs or alcohol continue to be patient. Among the individuals who will benefit immensely through the patient's liver transplant autoimmune hepatitis.
Let us not neglect the health of any organ at all, including the liver, because it can heal itself and does not cause death immediately. Imagine the heart as the brain and spine that allows us to move the body and carry out daily activities.
Without faith, we will not only die, but will lose control of the body's principal chemical functions are not much different from the slowly become paralyzed. Love yourself, love hearts.
