"Heavy taste" induces high risk
Take medication regularly to prevent liver damage
Henan has a long history and has given birth to countless characteristic delicacies and snacks, but the taste feast is inseparable from the pair of "oil" and "salt". According to the Henan Provincial Nutrition and Health Survey figures, although the per capita salt intake in Henan has been declining in recent years, the average daily salt intake of Henan residents in 2012 was 12 grams, much higher than the WHO recommended daily intake of less than 5 grams.
Unhealthy eating habits have made Henan the hardest hit area of the risk of "four highs", and the "four highs" are the main factors that induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In the daily treatment of the "four highs" disease, patients need to receive a variety of drugs for a long time, and some patients with long-term chronic diseases and middle-aged and elderly patients with fragile body functions will face the risk of drug-induced liver injury. According to the statistics of the national health department, about 10%-15% of all adverse drug reaction cases are drug-induced hepatitis, especially patients with chronic diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes have a higher probability of drug-induced liver injury due to long-term drug use, and the incidence of drug-induced liver injury in people over 50 years old is as high as 40%.

Chen Jun, chain director of the adult retail division of Sunflower Pharmaceutical Group Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., said that the problem of liver injury caused by the "four highs" should be concerned by the whole society, and that more middle-aged and elderly people with chronic diseases should realize the potential harm of drug-induced liver injury "hidden" diseases. Li Tongzeng, chief physician of the Department of Infectious Diseases of Beijing You'an Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, also said in the sharing that "combination of prevention and treatment" is the key to coping with liver injury in patients who take drugs for a long time, because the early manifestations of liver injury are often mild and not taken seriously, and they are already quite serious. Patients with chronic diseases need to have their liver function values checked regularly to prevent them from occurring.

The middle-aged and elderly patients with chronic diseases at the event site had a warm exchange and discussion, and consulted experts on their own current situation. A patient with high blood pressure reported: "I have been lacking good eating habits before, which has led to high blood pressure and I have to take antihypertensive drugs all the time. Through the lecture hall, I learned about the harm of drug liver damage, and I must pay attention to liver function indicators regularly in the future, and at the same time, I must always maintain a healthy diet. ”

Jointly help the "four high" patients

For the monitoring of liver health, Director Li Tongzeng particularly emphasized that alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase are important indicators for detecting liver function, and some patients with abnormal aminotransferases can stop taking drugs according to their personal conditions, and at the same time use liver-protecting drugs for treatment, such as liver protection tablets can reduce the risk of liver damage and reduce transaminases. At the same time, Director Li Tong Zeng said that maintaining liver health is not an overnight thing, and only by cultivating the health awareness of "taking medicine often to protect the liver" and cooperating with scientific preventive measures can the best effect of protecting the liver be achieved.
At present, there are many liver protection tablets on the market, and patients need to pay special attention to the stability and quality of ingredients when choosing. It is understood that the "fingerprint" of traditional Chinese medicine can comprehensively reflect the type and quantity of chemical components contained in traditional Chinese medicine and its preparations, and then describe and evaluate the overall quality of drugs to ensure the stability of important components. According to a real-world study of liver protection tablets in the treatment of DILI, among the 465 cases included, the recovery rate of liver protection tablets in patients with drug-induced liver injury was 95.31%, and the improvement rate was 4.69%, and no adverse reactions occurred.
In the continuous interaction, the "Sunflower Liver Protection Lecture Hall" Henan Zhoukou Station also came to a successful conclusion.

It is reported that the public welfare action of "Building the Great Wall of Liver Protection" will continue to encourage the whole people to actively participate in the construction of the "Great Wall of Health" to protect the liver and provide assistance for the realization of the strategic goal of Healthy China.
