What is LIVER CIRRHOSIS? Can it be cured? You will get the answers to these questions by watching this video to the end. Liver cirrhosis is a chronic progressive disease consisting of the steady replacement of functioning liver cells (hepatocytes) with fibrous connective tissue. The main complications of cirrhosis are: ▶ Deterioration of blood supply to the liver and compression of the vessels that feed it ▶ Varicose veins ▶ Metabolic disorders ▶ Endogenous intoxication of the body ▶ Renal failure and hepatic encephalopathy ▶ Liver failure up to hepatic coma In addition to the two main causes of cirrhosis (chronic alcoholism and viral hepatitis), hepatologists also note possible provoking factors: ▶ Long-term use of toxic drugs (medicines and narcotics) ▶ Autoimmune diseases ▶ Congenital metabolic disorder ▶ Heart failure ▶ Fatty hepatosis not associated with alcohol consumption ▶ Helminthiasis and other parasitic diseases ▶ Severe infectious diseases (syphilis, HIV, etc.) ▶ Acute poisoning (eating poisonous mushrooms and berries, exposure to chemicals, etc.) ▶ Obesity ▶ Liver injury The main signs and symptoms of liver cirrhosis are: ▶ increased fatigue ▶ loss of appetite and abdominal discomfort ▶ gastrointestinal dysfunction (nausea, loose stools or constipation) ▶ lighter or discolored stool ▶ dark urine ▶ weight loss ▶ impaired consciousness and behavior ▶ decreased libido ▶ yellowing of the skin, white membranes of the eyes and mucous membranes ▶ swelling of the extremities ▶ ascites (accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity) ▶ blood clotting disorders, bleeding from the nose, gastrointestinal tract, gums or hemorrhoids, subcutaneous hemorrhages ▶ damage to the immune system and frequent bacterial infections ▶ itchy skin For early diagnosis of cirrhosis, the following are used: ▶ General and biochemical blood tests ▶ Ultrasound of the liver ▶ Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the liver ▶ Elastometry ▶ Liver biopsy Unfortunately, liver cirrhosis is still considered an incurable disease. However, modern medicine offers various effective treatment protocols that can dramatically slow down the progression of cirrhosis: ▶ prevention and treatment of alcoholism in alcoholic cirrhosis ▶ dietary nutrition ▶ therapy of viral hepatitis (viral cirrhosis) ▶ hepatoprotectors ▶ glucocorticosteroid hormones (autoimmune cirrhosis) ▶ detoxification therapy (extracorporeal hemocorrection) Surgery for cirrhosis includes laparocentesis and operations on the vessels of the abdominal cavity: ▶ ligation or endovascular embolization of the splenic artery ▶ transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunting (TIPS) ▶ creation of a portocaval anastomosis In some countries, for example in Israel, autotransplantation of stem cells is used as an experimental method of treating cirrhosis. 📲 Sign up for a consultation via WhatsApp/Telegram/Viber +7 (925) 722-84-10 or email [email protected]. https://mednavigator.ru/ We are in social networks: 🔸 Vkontakte https://vk.com/mednavigatorru 🔸 Odnoklassniki https://ok.ru/group/59743698616348 🔸 Telegram https://t.me/mednavigator_ru 🔸 Yandex Zen https://zen.yandex.ru/id/6242d7f89745...
