Cirrhosis is a liver disease caused by chronic damage to its cells. Thus, the normal liver tissue is gradually replaced by fibrous tissue. The surviving cells multiply and form regenerative nodules (the so-called islands of living cells separated by a bundle). However, since these nodules do not have sufficient blood supply, liver function gradually deteriorates. One of the most important functions of the liver is the elimination of toxic substances from the body, and deterioration of this function can have very serious consequences.
In addition, deformity and fibrosis lead to portal hypertension, which is an increase in blood pressure in the veins carrying blood from the intestine and spleen to the liver. It can also cause serious complications. There are several causes of cirrhosis. The most common of these is alcoholism. Others are hepatitis or (less commonly) inflammation and obstruction of the bile ducts.
The insidiousness of cirrhosis of the liver lies in the fact that it does not necessarily have to report obvious symptoms, it can only manifest itself during a routine check-up. If symptoms occur, it is mild jaundice, swelling, confusion, or vomiting. On clinical examination, cirrhosis is manifested by enlargement of the liver and spleen. At the same time, breast enlargement and body hair loss in men are regarded as the result of a violation of the balance of sex hormones due to liver failure caused by cirrhosis of the liver.
The most serious complications include ascites or accumulation of free fluid in the abdominal cavity. It is also very dangerous to form varicose veins of the esophagus (esophageal openings), which can rupture and cause vomiting of blood. The accumulation of toxic substances can cause poisoning of brain tissue, which is manifested by confusion and coma. Hematoma, the primary carcinoma of liver cells, is also a complication. The cirrhotic process itself can be treated by slowing down the underlying disease that causes damage to liver cells, in alcoholics by complete abstinence. Ascites can be treated with diuretics and salt restriction. Bleeding esophageal openings can be closed with the introduction of a sclerosing solution capable of blocking the affected veins using a gastroscope. Portal hypertension can be treated surgically.
Reducing toxic substances can also be achieved by adjusting the diet by reducing the amount of protein in the diet or by prescribing antibiotics that reduce the number of bacteria in the intestinal tract. In the most serious cases, liver transplantation should be performed. Jackpot slot players get 25 free spins on Mega Jackpot games with 1xbet promo code today india cashout $100.
