There are many types of liver diseases, the most common ones are hepatitis B, hepatitis C, hepatitis A, liver cysts, hepatitis and so on.
After suffering from liver disease, the functions of the liver to decompose toxins and metabolism will decline. If the habit of drinking is still not changed, it will inevitably increase the burden on the liver, and even cause the following 4 serious diseases over time. the result of.
Therefore, I hope that people with alcohol addiction can understand and avoid it. To prevent trouble in the future!
1. Liver cancer
After ingesting alcohol in the human body, it not only needs liver metabolism and detoxification, but also produces a substance called acetaldehyde. of carcinogens.
If the liver function is good, this toxic substance will be decomposed into non-toxic substances and finally excreted from the body. If the liver function is relatively weak.
For example, while suffering from hepatitis B, after alcohol is converted into acetaldehyde, it cannot be decomposed into non-toxic substances in time by the liver, and it will stay in the liver over time
strong>, it will cause damage to liver cells, which will increase the risk of liver cancer in the long run.
2. Cirrhosis
Cirrhosis It is a clinically serious liver disease, the last step towards dry child development and the cause of liver cirrhosis, including long-term excessive alcohol consumption.
Alcohol accumulation in the body affects the regeneration and repair of liver cells. As a result, the liver is prone to lesions or necrosis, which will eventually induce liver cirrhosis. If it is not reversed in time , which then develops into liver cancer.
3. Aggravated liver disease
Alcohol Originally, it is a highly harmful substance. Although it will make people’s brain overexcited when drinking it, it will continue to destroy the body’s defense system.
As a result, the liver’s ability to resist diseases will also decline. Long-term development will seriously affect the health of the liver, and will eventually aggravate the original liver disease.
4. Hepatocyte necroptosis
Someone has done a study, the final results show that in the process of ethanol oxidation to acetaldehyde, the proportion of liver reducing coenzyme and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide is increased, the former will promote fatty acid Synthesis, while inhibiting fatty acid oxidation, and ultimately leading to hepatic steatosis.
In addition, in this process, the production of oxygen free radicals increases, and the consumption of antioxidants increases, which will eventually induce oxidative stress, cause cellular respiratory dysfunction, and induce hepatocyte necrosis and apoptosis.
Doing the following two things when you have liver disease may delay the progression of the disease!
1. Pay attention to rest
Because the main function of the liver is to store blood and regulate blood flow, if you have liver disease in the process of Excessive activity reduces blood flow to the liver, and the liver receives insufficient nutrients, which in turn slows down the effect of breaking down toxins.
In addition, the resistance of liver disease patients is weak. If the rest time is insufficient, the immunity will be weakened, and they will be easily affected by colds, urinary system infections and other problems.
So hope that patients and friends will fall asleep before 10:00, and ensure 7-8 hours of sleep.
2. Balanced meal
Patients with liver disease should follow the principle of high-protein and low-fat diet, which can reduce the burden on the liver, and at the same time stay away from greasy and indigestible food, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and a moderate amount of meat, which will help enhance physical fitness.
All in all, the occurrence of liver disease has already caused damage to liver cells. If the habit of drinking alcohol is maintained, it will eventually cause the four serious results mentioned above, and even threaten life.
Therefore, it is hoped that patients with liver disease should stay away from the habit of drinking alcohol, and at the same time have a balanced diet and ensure adequate rest time.
