Why do people with liver disease have poor immunity?
As a doctor of liver disease, sometimes I feel that the human body’s fight against hepatitis B virus is actually the human body’s immune system fighting against the virus.
Many patients develop chronic disease because of immunodeficiency or poor immunity.
The body’s immunity is the first line of defense against HBV infection, and for most adults, the virus is cleared without treatment.
In other people, the virus can cause acute inflammation of the liver, which activates the body’s immune system, and the immune response clears the virus faster and the disease is under control.
However, some people, due to their poor immunity, cannot effectively clear the hepatitis virus, resulting in the development of hepatitis from acute to chronic.
It can be said that the real reason for hepatitis B virus to live in the body for a long time is low immunity and immune tolerance. The number and function of immune cells and specific antiviral factors are insufficient to suppress and clear Viruses have become the root cause of persistent liver damage and repeated illness.
In addition, the function of the immune system will gradually decline with age, which is mainly directly related to eating habits, diseases and living environment, especially for patients with liver disease , When the immune system declines, it should be corrected in time.
How to improve immunity?
The most familiar ones are: balanced nutrition, emotional well-being, proper exercise, and regular work and rest.
Maybe many people will ask, what drugs can improve immunity?
Today we will introduce a famous recipe through the ages, Yupingfengsan. This is a famous prescription of ancient Chinese medicine. It comes from the “Danxi Heart Method” written by Zhu Danxi in the Yuan Dynasty.
Astragalus in the prescription is sweet and warm, it can invigorate the spleen and lungs, and externally, it can stop sweating. It is the king medicine. Atractylodes atractylodes invigorates the spleen and replenishes qi, and helps Astragalus to strengthen the power of replenishing qi and solidifying the surface, and is a ministerial medicine. Zuo keeps the wind away from the wind and guards against evil. The name of the jade screen is that its function is like a shield against the wind, and it is as precious as jade.
The main functions of Yupingfeng San are to invigorate the spleen and qi, invigorate the lungs and strengthen the body, expel wind and stop sweating, enhance the body’s righteousness, and enhance the ability to resist disease and evil. In layman’s terms, Yupingfeng Powder has the functions of enhancing immunity, anti-fatigue, and anti-allergic.
Modern medical research has found that Yupingfeng Powder has the effect of regulating human immunity, and is known as the “gamma globulin” in traditional Chinese medicine. Pharmacological experiments show that Yupingfeng Powder can enhance the body’s immune function and anti-allergy, increase immunoglobulin, improve microcirculation, anti-oxidation, regulate cytokines, enhance the function of immune system cells, and promote cell metabolism. In clinical use
The complexion is yellow and dark, lacking luster, and dark red can also be seen. The body shape is more fat, the skin is relatively moist; prone to allergies, or nasal congestion, or cough and asthma, or colds, itching, sweating, aversion to wind, diarrhea, or irregular stools, edema, allergy, immunity disease.
The following conditions meet the characteristics of the above population and may consider using this formula:
(1) Diseases manifested by spontaneous sweating fatigue, such as abnormal sweating after blood diseases, tumor chemotherapy or radiotherapy, and surgery.
(2) Diseases susceptible to colds, such as chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchial asthma, cough variant asthma, allergic rhinitis, chronic paranasal sinusitis, allergic Cough, repeated respiratory infections in children or the elderly, pneumonia in children, tuberculosis in children, chronic tonsillitis in children, anorexia in children, etc.
(3) Autoimmune diseases, such as secondary immunodeficiency in children, childhood diabetes, simple nephrotic syndrome, non-hormone-sensitive nephrotic syndrome, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic hyperhidrosis disease.
(4) Diseases manifested by skin itching and pain, such as senile shingles, chapped skin on the soles of hands and feet, etc.
JadeAlthough Pingfeng San can improve human immunity, the medicine is three-poisonous, but it must not be used as a health care product, nor should it be used as a long-term reliance to prevent diseases. Therefore, when using Yupingfeng Powder, it is often necessary to treat the disease and add flavor, so it is not recommended for patients to use it by themselves. In addition, pregnant women, children, and patients with diseases such as diabetes or high blood pressure must take medication under the guidance of a doctor.
