The main symptoms that your liver is being destroyed

2023-09-08 16:33:00, Shëndeti Ilir Allkja

The basic function of the liver is to eliminate toxic substances from the body that accumulate through:

o Food and industrial beverages

o Polluted air

o Cosmetic products

o Different medicines we use

o Alcoholic beverages

The liver has many essential functions; the production of bile proteins, some key hormones to the breakdown and accumulation of vitamins, minerals, fats and carbohydrates.

If the liver becomes inflamed, if the fat inside begins not to perform its functions correctly, as a result, toxic substances begin to concentrate in the blood, which only bring bad problems to the body.

Did you know that one of the biggest threats to your liver is inflammation?!

The main symptoms that your liver is being destroyed

Inflammation can form scars in the liver parenchyma, which is defined as hepatic cirrhosis, and is a degeneration that cannot be repaired.

Alcohol is one of the main causes of chronic inflammation, resulting in cirrhosis of the liver.

But today there are millions of people suffering from non-alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver which occurs due to the accumulation of fat in the liver, which is actually one of the main causes of diabetes.

A malfunctioning liver gives many symptoms that not only destroy our well-being, but also cause serious complications for the brain, heart and kidneys.

Below I will list some of the symptoms that indicate that your liver is not working well, and these should force you to leave a medical visit on your agenda.

1. Fatigue, laziness to get up from the seat, weakness, lack of strength, even at work you want to sleep. This is because the liver produces certain neurotransmitters that directly affect the brain.

2. The second sign is heaviness and pain in the neck, sometimes behind the right shoulder, which is always accompanied by pain in the lower back. This is because the liver is connected to several nerves that exert their effects on the right side of the lumbar spine.

3. The third symptom, the most annoying, is the feeling of itching, which is expressed in the arms, forearms, legs, etc. This means that toxic substances are not being cleared properly by the liver. To protect the central organs, the body stores these substances in the extremities.

4. The fourth symptom that should turn on the alarm lamp to go to the doctor is edema, swelling. Edema originating from the liver is localized in the ankles, ankles and knees. Patients also often complain of bloating in the stomach. The reason is because the liver produces a protein, albumin, which is like a sponge and holds a lot of water. Albumin keeps water in the bloodstream, does not allow it to go out of the vessels. If the albumin level is normal and its quality is also normal, water remains in the blood vessels, otherwise it flows out of them creating edema.

5. The fifth symptom is about the tendency to develop food allergies and intolerances. We return to the problem of the accumulation of toxic substances, the better the liver functions, the freer the blood will be from these substances, the less the possibility of developing allergies and the opposite, the heavier these are in the circulation, they multiply opportunities to develop allergies and intolerances that were not present before.

6. The sixth symptom is the main one related to liver malfunction; this is persistent diarrhea that is not properly managed. Otherwise called "steatorrhea", the feces are yellow and greasy, this happens because your liver does not produce enough bile to digest the fats.

7. A very important symptom is the appearance of yellow fatty plaques in the inner corners of the eyes. These plaques clearly show that we are dealing with a high presence of LDL cholesterol in the blood, since the liver does not manage to produce enough bile to digest, fractionate and differentiate fats. Normally, even if we eat a lot of eggs, cottage cheese, etc., the level of cholesterol in the blood remains low, since the liver protects these levels. A suffering liver cannot maintain normal cholesterol levels even if we simply eat a boiled egg.

8. The penultimate sign is "black" diabetes, or hemachromatosis. It happens because a lot of iron accumulates in the body, which cannot be eliminated. In this case, examinations are important to understand how much iron we have in the body. Lower back pain is the most common complaint of these people.

9. And to conclude, the most well-known symptom is that of jaundice, jaundice. Jaundice first appears in the sclera of the eyes, then in their lids, face and the whole body. This happens due to increased concentrations of bilirubin in the blood. Bilirubin is produced due to the destruction of red blood cells, erythrocytes. When erythrocytes become old, the liver seizes them and destroys them. As a result, bilirubin is produced, which the liver passes into the bile fluid and through the bile ducts, it is taken out into the duodenum and then eliminated in the feces. When the liver suffers, this process does not happen and bilirubin begins to increase in the blood, turning the entire skin yellow.

My advice: if you have one or several of these symptoms, do not underestimate them, contact a doctor!

You need to buy time for the damage to your liver to repair itself!
