Symptoms of liver disease or liver is a term for a set of conditions, diseases and infections that affect the cells, tissues, structure and function of the liver "liver". Liver function

Liver or "liver" is an important organ located in the upper right abdominal quadrant. He is responsible for:

• Filtering the blood
• Make bile, a substance that aids digestion of fat 
• Processing and bind fat in the transporter (protein), including cholesterol. 

Combined fat and protein called lip proteins (Chylomicron, VLDL, LDL, HDL), store sugar and help the body to transport and conserve energy.

• Make important proteins, like most involved in blood clotting
• Metabolize many drugs such as barbiturates, sedatives, and amphetamines
• Storing iron, copper, vitamin A and D, and some of the vitamin B
• Make important proteins such as albumin that regulate fluid in the blood and kidney
• Helps break down and recycle red blood cells If the liver becomes inflamed or infected, its ability to carry out these functions become weakened. Liver disease  and infections are caused by a variety of conditions including viral infections, bacteria, and chemical or physical changes in the body. The most common cause of liver damage is malnutrition (malnutrition), particularly the case with alcoholism.

 Symptoms - symptoms of liver disease may be acute, occurring suddenly, or chronic, developing slowly over a long period of time. Liver disease (liver disease) is much more common chronic than acute. Number of chronic liver disease than men are two times higher than women. Liver disease can reach from mild to severe depending on the type of disease present.

 Signs and symptoms of liver disease "Heart" The symptoms depend partly on the type and range heart disease.

In many cases, there may be no symptoms. Signs and symptoms - symptoms that are common to a number of different types of liver disease include:

•  Jaundice or yellowish skin 
• Urine is brown like tea Nausea

• Vomiting Diarrhea 
• The color of the stool (feces) of pale
• Abdominal pain (stomach) on the upper right abdomen
• Not feeling well (malaise) or a vague sick feeling
• Itching 
• Varicose veins (enlarged veins)
• Fatigue 
• Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
• Mild fever Sore muscles 
• Decreased libido (decreased sexual desire)
• Depression

 A rare form of severe liver infection "liver" is called acute fulminate hepatitis, leading to liver failure. Symptoms - symptoms of liver failure include:
* A plastic anemia, a condition in which bone marrow (bone marrow) can not make blood cells
* As cites, the accumulation of fluid in the abdomen
* Edema or swelling under the skin
* Encephalopathy, disorders that affect brain function
* Heart or liver is enlarged and painful (pain)
* Enlarged spleen
* Changes in mental status or level of consciousness
* Prone to bleeding Causes and risk of liver disease Liver disease can be caused by various factors. The causes include:

• Defects or congenital heart abnormalities present at birth 
• Metabolic disorders or damage to the basic processes of the body 
• Viral infections or bacterial 
• Alcohol or poisoning by toxins 
• Certain drugs that are toxic to the liver 
• Malnutrition (nutritional) 

Trauma or injury
Liver diseases or liver disease are likely to occur in children include:

• Allegiance's syndrome, a condition where the bile ducts narrow and deteriorate, especially in the first year of life 
• Alpha 1 - antitrypsin deficiency, a genetic liver disease in children can lead to hepatitis and liver cirrhosis 
• Biliary atresia, a current state in which the bile duct extending from the liver into the small intestine is a cross-section is too small or there is absolutely no 
• Galactosemia, an inherited disease where the body can not tolerate certain sugars in milk. These sugars can expand, causing serious damage to the liver and other organs of the body. 
• Hemorrhagic telangiectasia, a condition where blood vessels are thin to allow easy and frequent bleeding of the skin and gastrointestinal tract 
• Chronic active hepatitis, an inflammation of the liver which causes sores that leave scars and impaired liver function 
• Liver cancer, which can be derived from cancers in other body parts that had spread to the liver 
• Neonatal hepatitis, the hepatitis in newborns that occurred in the first few months of birth 
• Reye's syndrome, a condition that is causing the expansion of fat in the liver. In some cases this condition is associated with the use of aspirin, particularly those associated with chickenpox, influenza or other diseases with fever 
• Thalassemia, a group of inherited anemia, or low red blood count 
• Tyrosinemia, a disorder that causes serious problems with the liver metabolism 

Wilson's disease, an inherited condition (offspring) is causing the expansion of the mineral copper in the liver  Liver diseases or liver are likely to occur in adults include:

• Gallstones, which may block the bile duct 

• Hemochromatosis, a condition that causes the body to absorb and store too much iron. Of iron buildup causes damage to the liver and other organs 
• Hepatitis, an inflammation and infection of the liver caused by one of several viruses 
• Cystic disease of the liver, causing injuries and masses in the liver filled with liquid 
• Porphyria, a condition that causes malfunctions in how the body uses porphyrins. Porphyrins is very important in the manufacture of hemoglobin in red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout the body 
• Primary sclerosing cholangitis, a condition that causes narrowing of the bile ducts of the liver due to inflammation and scarring 
• Sarcoidosis, a disease that causes an expansion of the wounds in the liver (liver disease) and other organs of the body 
• Cirrhosis, a serious condition that causes tissues and cells of the liver is replaced by scar tissue 

Type I glycogen storage disease, which causes problems in controlling blood sugar when one is fasting Liver disease associated with alcohol include:

• Alcoholic Hepatitis 
• Fatty liver disease that causes liver enlargement 
• Alcoholic Cirrhosis Prevention of Liver Disease "Heart" Some but not all liver diseases can be prevented. 

For example, hepatitis A and hepatitis B is preventable by vaccination. Other ways to reduce the risk of disease or symptoms of infection are the liver (liver disease) include:

• Demonstrate good hygiene, like washing hands after using the toilet or changing diapers 
• Avoid drinking or using tap water when traveling abroad 
• Avoid using drugs, especially the use of shared syringes 
• Conduct safe sex 
• Avoid the use of shared medical equipment such as personal shaver or nail clippers 
• Avoid toxic materials and excessive alcohol consumption 
• Use a bat-like drugs are recommended 
• Use caution on chemical products industry 
• Eat a well balanced diet according to the instructions of the food pyramid 
• Get a shot of immune globulin after exposure to hepatitis A

 Disease Diagnosis The doctor can determine whether symptoms, medical history and physical test match with liver disease.

Hepatomegaly, an enlarged heart and harden and other signs of liver disease can be found on the tests conducted. In some cases, the only way to definitively diagnose the presence of a certain liver disease is liver biopsy. This procedure involves taking a bit of liver tissue for examination under a microscope. Liver biopsy may be done several times to see the progress of disease and response to treatment.

 Liver Disease Long Term Effects "Heart" Long-term effects depend on the presence of the type of heart disease. For example, chronic hepatitis can lead to:

• Liver failure 
• Diseases in other parts of the body, such as kidney damage or low blood counts 
• Cirrhosis of the liver 

 The effects of long-term can include:

• Encephalopathy, is a deterioration of brain function that may progress to coma
• Gastrointestinal bleeding (gastrointestinal bleeding). These include bleeding esophageal varices, which is an abnormal enlargement of veins in the esophagus and / or in the stomach
• Liver cancer
• Peptic ulcers, which erode the lining of the abdomen / stomach 

 At the risk of Others Some heart disease is highly contagious and put the risk in others. For example, some forms of hepatitis is highly contagious through sexual contact or contaminated food and beverages. Other liver diseases such as biliary Tiresias is not contagious.

Treatment for liver disease include:

• Rest in bed
• Drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration
• Avoid drugs that do not need
• Avoid alcohol 
• Eat a balanced diet for liver disease
• Take anti-nausea medication if necessary Suggested products to address the symptoms of Liver Disease "Heart"
