Liver Problems is a general term that refers to any condition affecting your liver. These conditions may develop for different reasons, but they can all damage your liver and affect its function.
Your liver is a vital organ that performs hundreds of tasks related to metabolism, energy storage, and waste filtering. It helps you digest food, convert it to energy, and store the energy until you need it. It also helps filter toxic substances out of your bloodstream.
COMMON SYMPTOMS
Liver disease symptoms vary, depending on the underlying cause. It’s also possible for someone to have liver disease and not have any symptoms at all.
These include:
yellowish skin and eyes, known as jaundice
pale, bloody, or black stools
enlarged stomach due to ascites, which may make it uncomfortable to lie down or eat
encephalopathy, a brain issue resulting in marked changes in mood, sleep, and cognition
COMMON LIVER PROBLEMS
Many conditions can affect your liver. Here’s a look at some of the main ones.
1) HEPATITIS
Hepatitis is defined as an inflammation of the liver. When that inflammation is caused by a virus, it’s referred to as viral hepatitis. Hepatitis can cause liver damage, making it difficult for your liver to function as it should.
Five types of hepatitis include:
Hepatitis A. Hepatitis A is typically spread through contact with contaminated food or water. Symptoms may clear up without treatment, but recovery can take a few weeks.
Hepatitis B. Hepatitis B is a serious liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). For some people, hepatitis B infection becomes chronic, meaning it lasts more than six months. Most adults with hepatitis B recover fully, even if their signs and symptoms are severe. Infants and children are more likely to develop a chronic (long-lasting) hepatitis B infection.
Hepatitis C. Hepatitis C can also be acute or chronic. It’s often spread through contact with blood from someone with hepatitis C. While it often doesn’t cause symptoms in its early stages, it can lead to permanent liver damage in its later stages.
Hepatitis D. This is a serious form of hepatitis that only develops in people with hepatitis B — it can’t be contracted on its own. It can also be either acute or chronic.
Hepatitis E. Hepatitis E is usually caused by drinking contaminated water. Generally, it clears up on its own within a few weeks without any lasting complications.
2) FATTY LIVER DISEASE
There are two types of fatty liver disease. These two types can manifest alone, or they can overlap:
alcoholic fatty liver disease, which is caused by heavy alcohol consumption
non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, which is caused by other factors experts are still trying to understand
Without management, both types of fatty liver disease can cause liver damage, leading to cirrhosis and liver failure. Diet and other lifestyle changes can often improve symptoms and lower your risk of complications.
3) AUTOIMMUNE CONDITIONS
Autoimmune conditions involve your immune system mistakenly attacking healthy cells in your body. Several autoimmune conditions involve your immune system attacking cells in your liver, including:
Autoimmune hepatitis. This condition causes your immune system to attack your liver, resulting in inflammation. Without treatment, it can lead to cirrhosis and liver failure.
Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). This results from damage to the bile ducts in your liver, causing a buildup of bile. PBC can eventually lead to cirrhosis and liver failure.
Primary sclerosing cholangitis. This inflammatory condition causes gradual damage to your bile ducts. They eventually become blocked, causing bile to build up in your liver. This can lead to cirrhosis or liver failure.
4) GENETIC CONDITIONS
Several genetic conditions, which you inherit from one of your parents, can also affect your liver:
Hemochromatosis causes your body to store more iron than it needs. This iron remains in your organs, including your liver. This can lead to damage over a long period of time if not managed.
Wilson’s disease causes your liver to absorb copper instead of releasing it into your bile ducts. Eventually, your liver may become too damaged to store more copper, allowing it to travel through your bloodstream and damage other parts of your body, including your brain.
Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency occurs when your liver can’t make enough alpha-1 antitrypsin, a protein that helps prevent enzyme breakdowns throughout your body. This condition can cause lung disease as well as liver disease. There’s no cure, but treatment can help.
5) DRUG_ INDUCED LIVER DISEASE
It’s possible to damage your liver by overexposing it to certain drugs and supplements,Many times, this damage can be reversed once you stop taking the drug. But if it continues, the damage can become chronic.
6) CANCER
Liver cancer first develops in your liver. If cancer starts elsewhere in the body but spreads to the liver, it’s called secondary liver cancer.
The most common type of liver cancer is hepatocellular carcinoma. It tends to develop as several small spots of cancer in your liver, though it can also start as a single tumor.
Complications of other liver diseases, especially those that aren’t treated, may contribute to the development of liver cancer.
7) CIRRHOSIS
Cirrhosis refers to scarring that result from liver diseases and other causes of liver damage, such as alcohol use disorder.
liver can regenerate in response to damage, but this process usually results in the development of scar tissue. The more scar tissue that develops, the harder it is for your liver to function properly.
In its early stages, cirrhosis is often treatable by addressing the underlying cause. But without management, it can lead to other complications and become life threatening.
8) LIVER FAILURE
Chronic liver failure typically happens when a significant part of your liver is damaged and can’t function properly. Generally, liver failure related to liver disease and cirrhosis happens slowly. You may not have any symptoms at first. But over time, you might start to notice:
jaundice
diarrhea
confusion
fatigue and weakness
nausea
RISK FACTOR
Risk factors include:
sharing needles
getting a tattoo or body piercing with nonsterile needles
having a job where you’re exposed to blood and other bodily fluids
having sex without using protection against sexually transmitted infections
living with diabetes or high cholesterol
having a family history of liver disease
living with extra weight
being exposed to toxins or pesticides
taking certain supplements or herbs, especially in large amounts
mixing certain medications with alcohol
taking more than the recommended dose of certain medication
PREVENTION
While not all liver disease or damage can be prevented, lifestyle choices can make a big difference when it comes to keeping your liver healthy. Like the risk factors above, many of the methods around prevention involve dietary decisions and physical activity.
eating a nutritious diet that includes lots of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains
increasing physical activity
limiting alcohol
avoiding smoking and using drugs
maintaining a moderate weight
interacting cautiously with toxic chemicals like aerosol cleaners, bug sprays, and other cleaning products
