\n

Liver disease accounts for more than a million deaths annually (Cirrhosis, viral hepatitis and liver cancer).<\/p>\n

Often, the symptoms have been ignored, or delayed diagnosis causes casualties.<\/p>\n

The liver filters toxins out of the body, any disorder may lead to toxin accumulation making it vulnerable to many diseases.<\/p>\n

These can be temporary or long-term, giving rise to a chronic condition.<\/p>\n

The temporary condition is often reversible, since liver has regenerative power to cure.<\/p>\n

However, when the toxins get accumulated, viral infections or certain metabolic conditions give rise to chronic issue and can cause irreversible damage.<\/p>\n

The Stages of Liver Disease-<\/h2>\n

1. Inflammation<\/h3>\n

It is the primary condition of the liver disorder, the start of the disease. Caused due to injury, toxins or a virus.
\nIts asymptomatic condition often remains undetected.<\/p>\n

Hepatitis is the inflammation of the liver.<\/p>\n

Hepatitis can be both viral and non-viral.<\/p>\n

Viral Hepatitis<\/strong> \u2013 caused due to viral infection.<\/p>\n

It consist of Hepatitis A, B, C.<\/p>\n

Non-viral Hepatitis<\/strong> \u2013 It can be caused by:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \u2022 Alcohol consumption<\/li>\n
  • \u2022 Drug induced<\/li>\n
  • \u2022 Autoimmune disease, or<\/li>\n
  • \u2022 Fatty liver<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Symptoms for Liver Inflammation<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • \u2022 Yellowing of the skin or eyes<\/li>\n
    • \u2022 Belly pain and discomfort in the upper right abdomen.<\/li>\n
    • \u2022 Fluid retention and swelling in the legs and ankles.<\/li>\n
    • \u2022 Fatigue<\/li>\n
    • \u2022 Nausea, vomiting<\/li>\n
    • \u2022 Gastrointestinal troubles<\/li>\n
    • \u2022 loss of appetite<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      2. Fibrosis<\/h3>\n

      Prolonged inflammation causes liver scarring, stiffens the liver tissue .The thicken liver tissue unable the blood vessels to exchange oxygen or get enough nutrient supply.
      \nThe scar causes blockade in the bile duct.
      \nThe blockade of the blood supply to the liver causes portal hypertension.
      \nFibrosis if identified initially can be promptly treated but prolonged scarring causes liver cells to die.<\/p>\n

      Causes of Fibrosis \u2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • \u2022 Alcohol consumption \u2013<\/strong> inflammation or injury caused due to excess alcohol intake.<\/li>\n
      • \u2022 Viral hepatitis C \u2013<\/strong> Caused by viral infections.<\/li>\n
      • \u2022 Metabolic dysfunction \u2013<\/strong> Non Alcoholic Fatty liver caused due to obesity, underline medical condition \u2013 diabetes, high cholesterol levels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Symptoms \u2013<\/strong> Fibrosis does not show specific symptoms; however, the prolonged symptoms of inflammation in the liver indicates fibrosis.<\/p>\n

        3. Cirrhosis\u00a0\u2013 The scarred liver tissue replaces all healthy cells.<\/h3>\n

        It is the scarring of the liver tissues, replacing the healthy liver cells. Cirrhosis remains undiagnosed in early stages.<\/p>\n

        Symptoms at later stages,<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        • \u2022 Bleeding, bruising.<\/li>\n
        • \u2022 Itchy skin<\/li>\n
        • \u2022 Changes in the finger shape and white nails.<\/li>\n
        • \u2022 Jaundice<\/li>\n
        • \u2022 Dark stools<\/li>\n
        • \u2022 Confusion<\/li>\n
        • \u2022 Swollen legs and abdomen<\/li>\n
        • \u2022 Portal hypertension – the complete scarring of the liver obstructs the blood flow in the portal vein causing to elevate blood pressure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          4. Liver Failure<\/h3>\n

          Prolonged chronic inflammation leads to liver failure.<\/p>\n

          Multiple conditions co-exist\u2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

            \n
          • \u2022 Fluid accumulation in the abdomen,<\/li>\n
          • \u2022 Kidney impairment<\/li>\n
          • \u2022 Internal bleeding<\/li>\n
          • \u2022 Confusion due to impaired blood filtration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Conclusion<\/h3>\n

            Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and timely diagnosis can curb the liver disease burden and mortality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
