Symptoms of liver disease

The liver is a marvelous laboratory of our body. Every day, it performs a number of complex functions. The liver participates in the removal of toxins from our body produces bile, participate in the digestion of food, the deposit of vitamins, protein production and coagulation factors. Liver, with the kidneys is the main organ that protects us from toxic and harmful substances. The liver has great recovery, and unfortunately the symptoms of liver disease usually detected at an advanced stage.


Liver Health
Liver (lat.hepar) is located below the right rib cage, in the right upper abdomen. Is the largest internal organ. It weighs about 1.5 pounds and has a large number of blood vessels, causing all of the injuries of the liver accompanied by massive bleeding. The liver is the organ without which man can not live. Unlike other organs that can not be selfrecovery, the liver has a high capacity for regeneration. Liver health largely depends on the way we live. The fact is that many of us terrorizes her own body toxins, cigarettes, coffee, alcohol, unhealthy and greasy fast food, preservatives.
Special danger to the liver is often taking medications, according to their own choice, without consulting a doctor.

Symptoms of liver disease and occur in a wide variety of different combinations. The most common are fatigue, insomnia, headaches, depression, indigestion, constipation, nausea, bloating, mood changes, stomach pain. The symptoms listed above are not specific only for liver disease, but I can certainly point to the fact that there are problems. Symptoms that are typical of liver disease, unfortunately occurring at an advanced stage. These are the yellowing of the skin (jaundice, icterus), decreased muscle mass, breast enlargement in men (gynecomastia), bad breath, reduced hairiness, bleeding tendency, swollen abdomen, swollen legs, blurred consciousness. The final stage of the liver, liver (hepatic) coma.

Liver failure can be acute and chronic. Most often when the disease does not move from acute to chronic phase, the liver is completely healed. If the disease passes from acute to chronic form, as is often the case with hepatitis B and C, the functional reserve of the liver is slowly depleted, normal liver tissue is converted to scarring (fibrosis), destroy the anatomy of the liver and bloodstream and develop chronic liver failure, usually in the form of cirrhosis.
Cirrhosis of the liver rapidly leads to liver failure and the only solution is a liver transplant, which no one would wish.
Therefore, my friends think of your health, take your liver, amazing lab in our body.
