Many people in life know that gallbladder and liver, bilirubin plays a very important role in liver metabolism. High bilirubin content may cause hepatocyte necrosis, liver cell destruction, bile duct blockage, liver ascites, etc. Too much bilirubin is bad for the body because it enters the body through the skin and eyes, and then travels throughout the body with the bloodstream. Too much bilirubin can cause hypercholesterolemia. High bilirubin affects the balance of calcium and magnesium ions in the blood, as well as the extracellular matrix and collagen, which in turn affects the body's health.
First, how to deal with bilirubin high school doctors
Traditional Chinese medicine treatment of high bilirubin can use some proprietary Chinese medicines and Chinese medicines to regulate liver function. It is mainly based on clearing the liver and pouring fire, activating blood and removing stasis, and has the effect of clearing heat and cooling blood, detoxifying and draining pus. For example, it has the effect of clearing the liver and eyes, activating blood circulation and removing stasis, reducing swelling and draining pus. It is mainly used for jaundice, hepatomegaly, ascites, skin itching, dry mouth and bitter mouth caused by liver fire. Some people have high bilirubin due to cholestasis in the liver, and they can take some Chinese medicine to regulate it.
Second, the symptoms of patients with elevated bilirubin
1. Jaundice: early patients will have yellowing of the skin, sclera and urine. As bilirubin rises, jaundice symptoms also occur: yellowing of the sclera, yellowing of the skin, eyes, etc.
2. Skin itching: when liver cells are damaged, the skin and sclera turn yellow, and the skin itching is more obvious.
3. Jaundice is aggravated: after the liver is damaged, the liver cannot process bilirubin in time, so it will be reflected in urine or skin color.
4. Abnormal liver function: Because the liver has a detoxification function, toxins in the body will be continuously excreted into the body. When the amount of bilirubin in the body rises, it will affect the human body.
Third, bilirubin is too high, how should bilirubin be reduced?
1, bilirubin high causes are diverse, bilirubin is red blood cell destruction after the transformation in the liver, into bile after excretion from the intestine, any position on the way can lead to bilirubin increase, whether it can be lowered by itself depends on the cause of the disease to decide.
2. If it is related to blood transfusion with incompatible blood types, after removing the predisposing factors of blood transfusion, bilirubin may decline on its own after about ten days, and it is difficult for bilirubin high due to viral hepatitis to decline on its own, and antiviral and other treatments may be required. When caused by obstructive causes, bilirubin may decline more rapidly after the obstruction is relieved.
3. The high bilirubin caused by fatty liver is not easy to alleviate, alcoholic fatty liver may completely return to normal about three months after abstinence from alcohol, and the bilirubin caused by drug-induced liver damage is increased, and it may also fall down on its own after stopping suspicious drugs.
4. If it is a more serious increase in bilirubin, it is necessary to use hepatoprotective and choleretic drugs to promote the rapid decline of bilirubin, and the increase in bilirubin caused by autoimmune diseases is usually difficult to decline, and anti-immune drugs may need to be used, and may be recurrent, so bilirubin can decline on its own.
Director Yao reminded everyone that if patients find that their bilirubin is too high, they should go to the hospital for examination in time, and then choose the appropriate treatment according to the test results. Because bilirubin is too high will not only affect physical health, but also affect quality of life, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.
