Know The Liver Diseases

Liver is an important organ of the body that takes a major role in digestion, metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and breakdown of insulin. It is the warehouse for many vital nutrients. Liver diseases can be genetic or due to various other factors but alcohol abuse is one of the main reasons for liver damage. 

The various types of diseases of the liver are:

•  Jaundice: A symptom that occurs due to the abnormal increase in destruction of red blood cells that reduces the ability of liver to remove and modify bilirubin or obstructs the flow of bile to the arteries. It generally leads to yellowing of skin and sclera of eyes.

• Cirrhosis: The replacement of damaged liver tissues by formation of fibrous tissue and nodules that ultimately interrupts the functioning of the liver id called as cirrhosis. It may be as a result of alcoholism or viral hepatitis. One of the common complications of cirrhosis is fluid retention in the abdominal cavity. The damage in this case cannot be reversed but further progression can be arrested.

•  Hepatitis: It is the inflammation of the liver caused by viral infections or other factors such as toxin alcohol or drugs. The common viral hepatitis are Hepatitis A, B, C, D and E.

• Liver toxicity: Exposure to pollutants and toxins continuously leads to necrosis or cell death that causes the liver to be sluggish.

• Alcohol induced liver disease: Inflammation of liver accompanied by destruction of liver cells and deposition of fat inside liver cells (fatty liver). It may lead to portal hypertension, enlarged spleen, kidney failure or liver cancer.

• Non alcoholic fatty liver: Non alcoholic fatty liver shows general signs and symptoms such as:

ü  Lack of appetite
