In clinical view, the liver is the most "silent" organ in the human body, which works silently in ordinary times and involves the operation of multiple systems of the body.
And even if the liver has already developed lesions, because the liver itself has a very strong compensation, and there is no peripheral nerve distribution, it will not easily hold the disease and cry out in pain, or even the patient does not have any symptoms.
These may seem to be the advantages of the liver, but they are also fatal injuries for patients with chronic liver disease.
Especially after the emergence of severe liver diseases such as cirrhosis and liver cancer, if the patient is not found in time and active treatment is carried out, it is undoubtedly left with greater development control of liver disease.
Whether it is complications of cirrhosis or liver cancer, it can threaten the patient's life and eventually die.
In fact, in the clinical view, liver disease is not without any symptoms, with the continuous damage of liver cells, patients will also have a series of symptoms, such as the recent body has the following reactions, beware is the liver disease to report the signal:
1, loss of appetite: the liver is actually an important part of the digestive system, it produces bile into the duodenum, can help absorb fat and other lipids.
Therefore, after the decline in liver function, it will first affect the digestion and absorption of such substances, and patients are prone to loss of appetite, anorexia, bloating and nausea after meals, diarrhea and other manifestations;
2. Fatigue: As liver cells continue to be damaged and liver function becomes worse and worse, the patient's digestive function will not only be affected, but even digestive malabsorption syndrome may occur, resulting in the body falling into a state of nutritional deficiency.
At the same time, the patient's cholinesterase production and vitamin E storage will be affected, resulting in symptoms of fatigue and fatigue;
3. Pain: Although the liver does not have a nervous system distribution, there are a large number of nerves and receptors around the liver and on the liver envelope.
When the liver is congested and enlarged due to disease, has an oozing of tissue fluid, or has necrotic liver cells, it will irritate the liver envelope, resulting in intermittent or persistent dull pain, tingling, swelling, or traction pain in the right quartral ribs. This pain tends to increase or decrease with changes in position and degree of exertion;
4. Jaundice: there are two main types of jaundice caused by liver disease, the first is hepatocellular jaundice, due to liver cell damage, resulting in abnormal bilirubin metabolism;
This is followed by hyperbilirubinemia, in which patients may develop symptoms such as yellowing of the skin and mucous membranes throughout the body and changes in the color of the stool. The second is obstructive progressive jaundice, which is more common in liver cancer patients;
5, endocrine abnormalities: the main function of the liver is detoxification and metabolism, in addition to the metabolism of toxins in the body, some of the hormones produced by the body, after completing the work, will also be decomposed and inactivated by the liver, such as estrogen is one of them.
Not only that, after suffering from chronic liver disease, it may also cause hypothalamic and adrenal gland dysfunction, followed by a series of endocrine symptoms, such as liver disease face, spider mole and liver palm.
In addition to the above symptoms, liver disease will also have multiple uncomfortable manifestations in the process of development, such as abdominal effusion, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, wasting, coagulation disorders and so on.
If similar symptoms have appeared repeatedly in the body recently, and they have not found the cause and have not relieved it after taking the drug, they should be highly vigilant against chronic liver disease, and it is necessary to seek medical examination in time.
