Liver disordersSome of the common disorders affecting the liver are

Hepatitis A a common infection spreads through contaminated food orwater, causing liver inflammation and jaundice. This is usually self limiting,and can last for up to 4 to 8 weeks.

Hepatitis B and C which are spread through contaminated blood or bodyfluids, unprotected sex with an infected person, contaminated needles,razors and toothbrush shared with an infected person, or even tattooing orbody piercing if the needle used is contaminated. These infections can bepresent silently for many years, and can cause scarring and damage to theliver.

Cirrhosis is scarring of the liver, usually permanent, from many causes, andcan lead to liver failure. Common causes in India are chronic Hepatitis B andC infections and alcohol abuse.

Tumours benign and malignant (liver cancer). Metabolic disorders usually affect the newborn or children and young

adults. Fatty liver disease a very common condition that is present especially in

those who are obese or overweight, have diabetes or high levels oftriglycerides (fat), or in those who abuse alcohol. In most cases this conditionmay cause no damage to the liver, but in some can progress to liverinflammation and scarring. It is increasing in incidence with changinglifestyles and dietary habits.

Symptoms of liver diseaseLiver disease is mostly silent and is discovered many times by chance or only

when there is advanced damage to the liver. Some of the symptoms are as follows: Jaundice yellow discoloration of the eyes and skin. It is important

to note that jaundice is only a symptom and not a disease by itself, and

can occur in many types of liver diseases

Dark coloration of urine Pale stools, sometimes dark or bloody Fatigue, tiredness, nausea, loss of appetite Abdominal and leg swelling Confusion, forgetfulness, difficulty in sleeping Easy bruising and bleeding from small cuts and scrapes, or bleeding

from the gums

Alcohol and the liverThere are three kinds of liver diseases associated with alcohol

fatty liverwith liver enlargement, which will improve if you stop drinking alcoholic hepatitis, which is associated with fever and jaundice and if severe

can lead to life-threatening complications cirrhosis, a serious condition which can lead to liver failure and associated

complications. Between 10 to 20% of people who drink heavily will developcirrhosis over a period of ten years or so

Liver transplantationThis is now the procedure of choice for patients with cirrhosis and liver

failure. The diseased liver is removed and a whole liver from a cadaver donor (braindead) or a portion of liver from a living related donor is then put in its place. Thisprocedure is life saving for those with end stage liver disease who will otherwise diefrom liver failure. It can also be done for select patients with liver cancer and otherliver disorders. Many hospitals in India now perform liver transplant successfully,and bring hope to thousands of patients dying every year from liver failure.Some facts and myths about the liver

v Liver disease does not cause 'indigestion' (abdominal discomfort, gas &bloating, loose stools etc), which are usually due to a gastro-intestinalproblems

v All patients with liver disease or cirrhosis are not alcoholics; there are manyother causes for cirrhosis of the liver

'v Jaundice' has many causes; hence it is important to investigate this

thoroughly before planning appropriate treatmentv There are many herbal remedies used to treat liver diseases; whilst these

can be useful, it is important to know that some can actually harm the liver; itis important therefore to thoroughly investigate the cause of the liverdisease before undergoing any treatment

. Liver tonics do not guarantee any protection from developing liverdiseases or its complications; only a proper lifestyle, screening and early

treatment are of recommended benefit. Liver disease is silent in the majority and can only be detected by properscreening

. The liver is the only organ in the body that can grow itself, hence a person candonate part of his liver for a transplant and his or her liver will grow back toits full size in a few months

Ways to keep your liver healthy Eat well and stay healthy! A good, balanced and nutritious diet with plenty of

8/4/2019 IMA - July

9/23

fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grain rice, breadand cereals, and less fried and fatty foods andreduced intake of carbs is healthy for the liver

Watch your weight! Try to maintain a near ideal bodyweight as obesity can damage the liver.

Exercise regularly! Regular exercise (at least threetimes a week) by itself reduces fat build up in theliver

Drink healthy! Limit the amount of alcohol you drinkand have alcohol free days every week; avoid heavy binge drinking.

Avoid unnecessary medications! remember that most drugs pass throughthe liver, and some are harmful

Limit toxin exposure! There is evidence that exposure to toxins fromaerosols, harsh cleaners, and insecticide sprays, household and garden

chemicals, can damage the liver. Use theseproducts in well ventilated areas, and usegloves or masks as necessary

Avoid self medication! High doses of over thecounter medication like paracetomol, painkillers and some herbal products can harm theliver; excessive use of mineral or vitaminsupplements should also be avoided

Get tested for liver disease! Early screening can prevent the many

complications of advanced liver disease, and greatly reduce the costsinvolved in managing such problems

Screen and protectyourself from Hepatitis Band C; this is especially important for thosewho have had previous attacks of jaundice,previous blood transfusion or surgery, orhealth care workers.

Remember! High risk practices like IV druguse and sharing of needles, having

unprotected sex with multiple partners canlead to infection with Hepatitis B or C; insiston sterile instruments whilst shaving your head, or tattooing, ear or bodypiercing.

Protect yourself and your family! Vaccines are now available againstHepatitis A and B.

Have a healthy lifestyle! this can go a long way in keeping you and your liverhealthy for a very long time!

Fatty Liver

There has been an alarming rise in the number of fatty livers being diagnosed. The rising

incidence of diabetes, central obesity and elevated cholesterol (particularly triglycerides) isto be blamed. Reliable population based surveys put the figure at 9 19% overall and adultage groups respectively. This is alarming because these figures resemble those fromdeveloped western countries where cirrhosis due to fatty liver disease is the second mostcommon reason for needing a liver transplant.

What is fatty liver?

Fatty liver is just what its name suggests: the build-up of excess fat in the liver cells.Normally your liver contains some fat, but if fat accounts for more than 10% of your liver'sweight, then you have fatty liver and you may develop more serious complications.

Fatty liver may cause no harm, but sometimes the excess fat leads to inflammationof the liver. This condition, called steatohepatitis, does cause liver damage. Sometimes,inflammation from a fatty liver is linked to alcohol abuse; this isknown as alcoholic steatohepatitis. Otherwise the condition is callednonalcoholic steatohepatitis, or NASH.

An inflamed liver may become scarred and hardened overtime. This condition, called cirrhosis, is serious and often leads to liverfailure requiring liver transplant.

NASH is one of the top three leading causes of cirrhosis world-wide.

What are the symptoms of fatty liver?

A fatty liver produces no symptoms on its own, preventive healthchecks or medical tests done for other conditions reveal fatty liver.NASH can damage your liver silently for years or even decades. If the disease gets worse, youmay experience fatigue, weight loss, abdominal discomfort, weakness and confusion.

What causes fatty liver?

Eating excess calories causes fat to build up in the liver. People with obesity, diabetes, hightriglycerides, alcohol abuse, rapid weight loss and malnutrition may also lead to fatty liver.However, some people develop fatty liver even if they have none of these conditions soeveryone should know about it.

How is fatty liver diagnosed?

Your doctor may see something unusual in your blood test or notice that your liver is slightlyenlarged during a routine checkup. These could be signs of a fatty liver. To make sure youdon't have another liver disease, your doctor may ask for more blood tests, an ultrasound, aCT scan may be sometimes needed. If other diseases are ruled out, you may be diagnosedwith NASH. Although rarely needed, a liver biopsy is the only way to diagnose NASH for sure.

What new treatments for fatty liver are being studied?

Fatty liver is currently the focus of intense research to provide us with better tools fortreatment in the future. Scientists are studying whether various medications can help reduce

the inflammation on your liver, including new diabetes medications that may help you evenif you don't have diabetes.

Fatty Liver can progress to Cirrhosis of liver.

How is fatty liver treated?

You can take some steps that may help prevent or reverse some of the damage. If you havefatty liver, particularly if you have NASH, you should:

Lose weight safely! That usually means losing no more than one or two pounds aweek.

Lower your triglycerides through diet, medication or both

Avoid alcohol

Control your diabetes, if you have it

Eat a balanced, healthy diet

Increase your physical activity

Get regular checkups from a doctor who specializes in liver care

If I've been diagnosed with fatty liver, what questions should I

ask my doctor? What is the likely cause of my fatty liver?

Do I have NASH? If not, how likely am I to developNASH?

Do I have cirrhosis? If not, how likely am I to developcirrhosis?

Do I need to lose weight? How can I do so safely?

Should I be taking any medication to control my triglyceride levels?

What medications or other substances should I avoid to protect my liver?

Who is at risk for fatty liver?Most (but not all) fatty liver patients are middle-aged and overweight. The risk factors mostcommonly linked to fatty liver disease are:

Overweight (body mass index of 25-30)

Obesity (body mass index above 30)

Diabetes

Elevated triglyceride levels

Abdominal surgery: Operations to remove large sections of the small intestine,treat obesity (stomach or small intestinal bypass) often lead to rapid weight loss.This may increase your risk of fatty liver disease.

Medications: particularly oral steroids eg. Prednisone, synthetic estrogens formenopause, certain medications for heart arrhythmias eg. amiodarone, tamoxifen(for breast cancer) and methotrexate (a medication for rheumatoid arthritis).

Certain other conditions: like Wilson's disease, Glycogen storage diseases,Abetalipoproteinemia,Galactosemia etc.

What is the best way to prevent fatty liver?

The best way to reduce your risk of developing fatty liver is to maintain a healthy weight andnormal triglyceride levels. You should also avoid excess alcohol and other substances thatcould harm your liver.

Once Buddha was travelling with a few of his followers. While they were passing alake, Buddha told one of his disciples, "I am thirsty. Do get me some water from the lake."The disciple walked up to the lake. At that moment, a bullock cart started crossing throughthe lake. As a result, the water became very muddy and turbid. The disciple thought, "Howcan I give this muddy water to Buddha to drink?" So he came back and told Buddha, "Thewater in there is very muddy. I don't think it is fit to drink." After about half an hour, againBuddha asked the same disciple to go back to the lake. The disciple went back, and found

that the water was still muddy. He returned and informed Buddha about the same. Aftersometime, again Buddha asked the same disciple to go back.This time, the disciple found the mud had settled down, and the water was clean

and clear. So he collected some water in a pot and brought it to Buddha. Buddha looked atthe water, and then he looked up at the disciple and said," See what you did to make thewater clean. You let it be, and the mud settled down on its own -- and you have clear water.Your mind is like that too ! When it is disturbed, just let it be. Give it a little time. It willsettle down on its own. You don't have to put in any effort to calm it down. It will happen. Itis effortless." Having 'Peace of Mind' is not a strenuous job; it is an effortless process!
