Cirrhosis with poratl htn

Friends today I am discussing about Hepatitis. Hepatitis Hepatitis is the inflammation of the liver. The most common cause for hepatitis is viruses. Other causes may include excessive alcohol use, certain medications, toxins, other infections, and autoimmune diseases. Types of Hepatitis Hepatitis is mainly of five types that are caused by a virus, A, B, C, D, and E. These can be commonly determined by a laboratory test. Hepatitis types A, C, D, and E is caused by viruses that have a core of ribonucleic acid (RNA). While virus responsible for hepatitis B has a DNA core. Causes of Hepatitis • Hepatitis A and E are mainly spread by contaminated food and water. Hepatitis A is also called infectious hepatitis as it is very highly contagious disease, but it is rarely fatal. • Hepatitis B spreads through sexually transmission, but may also be passed from mother to baby during pregnancy or childbirth. Hepatitis B is also called as viral hepatitis. It can be severe and often leads to liver cirrhosis. Hepatitis B may commonly transmit through transfusions of contaminated blood. • Both hepatitis B and hepatitis C are commonly spread through infected blood like during sharing of the needle by intravenous drug users. Complications of Hepatitis C can lead to chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, or liver failure. • Hepatitis D can only infect people already infected with hepatitis B. Hepatitis D is the most serious and also the rarest form of viral hepatitis. Many cases of hepatitis D are fatal, and most chronic cases lead to cirrhosis. • Hepatitis E often occurs in epidemics that can be linked to poor hygiene and contaminated water. Pregnant women can be at risk due to infection by Hepatitis E. The disease has been reported almost exclusively in developing countries. Symptoms of hepatitis Many people with hepatitis experience either mild symptoms or none at all. Symptoms may not occur until liver damage occurs. Acute hepatitis - The initial phase of hepatitis is called the acute phase. The symptoms may include: • Diarrhea • Fatigue • Loss of appetite • Mild fever and flu-like symptoms • Muscle or joint aches • Nausea & Vomiting • Pain in abdominal • Unexplained Weight loss. Chronic hepatitis-- The acute phase is not usually dangerous, but it may develop into the fulminant type of hepatitis which is a very serious stage and can lead to death. As the patient gets worse, these symptoms may follow: • Portal Circulation problems • Dark urine • Dizziness & Drowsiness (only toxic/drug-induced hepatitis) • Enlarged spleen (only alcoholic hepatitis) • Headache • Hives with or without Itching of skin • Clay-colored stool, which may contain pus • Yellow skin, whites of eyes, tongue (jaundice). Complications of Hepatitis Fibrosis - One of the most common complications of chronic hepatitis is fibrosis, which is a type of scarring of the liver. Due to constant inflammation, the liver is damaged and creates the scar tissue to repair itself. Cirrhosis of the liver - Extensive fibrosis is called cirrhosis. There are many causes for Liver cirrhosis, but alcoholic hepatitis and Hepatitis C is the common. Cancer of the Liver - One of the complications of cirrhosis is liver cancer, which are usually two types. First is hepatocellular carcinoma, where liver cells are affected. The other type is cholangiolar carcinoma, which affects the bile ducts. Liver Failure - Liver failure is a serious, but uncommon, complication of hepatitis. In this condition, function of the liver stopped and this leads to the body shutting down, and eventually, death. Glomerulonephritis - Glomerulonephritis is a kidney disorder caused by inflammation of nephrons and is seen in chronic hepatitis B and hepatitis C infections. Cryoglobulinemia - Seen in chronic hepatitis B and hepatitis C infection, cryoglobulinemia is an uncommon disease caused by an abnormal cluster of a kind of protein that blocks small blood vessels leading to circulation problems. Hepatic Encephalopathy - Severe loss of liver function, such as liver failure, can lead to inflammation in the brain called encephalopathy. This causes mental problems, like confusion, and can lead to coma. Portal Hypertension - One of the liver's important jobs is to filter blood. When this portal system is blocked due to liver cirrhosis and other problems, blood can't return to the liver from the digestive system and pressure increases. This is called portal hypertension and it is a serious complication and can be fatal. Porphyria - Porphyria is a group of diseases caused by problems processing important chemicals in the body called porphyrins. One type, called porphyria cutanea tara, leads to blistering of the hands and face and is a rare complication of chronic hepatitis C infection. Viral Co-Infection - A challenging complication of hepatitis is the possibility of having two viral infections at the same time. A common with co-infection with hepatitis is the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Other common co-infections are with the hepatotropic viruses, named A through E. This type of Co-infections can be fatal. Diagnosis • Complete blood count • Liver function Test • Laboratory test to identify virus in blood • Bleeding time • Clotting time • Imaging- Ultrasonography, CT- scan, MRI • Liver biopsy Homoeopathy in the treatment of Hepatitis and other liver problem Homeopathy provides a very effective and safe treatment for Hepatitis and other liver disorders.

FATTY LIVER Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is an umbrella term for a range of liver conditions affecting people who drink little to no alcohol. As the name implies, the main characteristic of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is too much fat stored in liver cells. Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, a potentially serious form of the disease, is marked by liver inflammation, which may progress to scarring and irreversible damage. This damage is similar to the damage caused by heavy alcohol use. At its most severe, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis can progress to cirrhosis and liver failure Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is increasingly common around the world, especially in Western nations. In the United States, it is the most common form of chronic liver disease, affecting an estimated 80 to 100 million people. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease occurs in every age group but especially in people in their 40s and 50s who are at high risk of heart disease because of such risk factors as obesity and type 2 diabetes. The condition is also closely linked to metabolic syndrome, which is a cluster of abnormalities including increased abdominal fat, poor ability to use the hormone insulin, high blood pressure and high blood levels of triglycerides, a type of fat. Causes Experts don't know exactly why some people accumulate fat in the liver while others do not. Similarly, there is limited understanding of why some fatty livers develop inflammation that progresses to cirrhosis. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis are both linked to the following: · Overweight or obesity · Insulin resistance, in which your cells don't take up sugar in response to the hormone insulin · High blood sugar (hyperglycemia), indicating prediabetes or actual type 2 diabetes · High levels of fats, particularly triglycerides, in the blood These combined health problems appear to promote the deposit of fat in the liver. For some people, this excess fat acts as a toxin to liver cells, causing liver inflammation and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, which may lead to a buildup of scar tissue (fibrosis) in the liver. Symptoms Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease usually causes no signs and symptoms. When it does, they may include: · Enlarged liver · Fatigue · Pain in the upper right abdomen Possible signs and symptoms of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and cirrhosis (advanced scarring) include: · Abdominal swelling (ascites) · Enlarged blood vessels just beneath the skin's surface · Enlarged breasts in men · Enlarged spleen · Red palms · Yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice) Risk factors A wide range of diseases and conditions can increase your risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, including: · High cholesterol · High levels of triglycerides in the blood · Metabolic syndrome · Obesity, particularly when fat is concentrated in the abdomen · Polycystic ovary syndrome · Sleep apnea · Type 2 diabetes · Underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) · Underactive pituitary gland (hypopituitarism) Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis is more likely in these groups: · Older people · People with diabetes · People with body fat concentrated in the abdomen It is difficult to distinguish nonalcoholic fatty liver disease from nonalcoholic steatohepatitis without further testing. Complications The main complication of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis is cirrhosis, which is late-stage scarring (fibrosis) in the liver. Cirrhosis occurs in response to liver injury, such as the inflammation in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. As the liver tries to halt inflammation, it produces areas of scarring (fibrosis). With continued inflammation, fibrosis spreads to take up more and more liver tissue. If the process isn't interrupted, cirrhosis can lead to: · Fluid buildup in the abdomen (ascites) · Swelling of veins in your esophagus (esophageal varices), which can rupture and bleed · Confusion, drowsiness and slurred speech (hepatic encephalopathy) · Liver cancer · End-stage liver failure, which means the liver has stopped functioning About 20 percent of people with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis will progress to cirrhosis.
