Bad liver, face knows in advance? If it is accompanied by these 5 obvious manifestations, it indicates that the liver has been damaged
Cirrhosis is one of the high incidence of chronic progressive liver disease, its appearance is not independent, and it is generally related to chronic liver disease repeated attack for a long time. The diffuse liver injury induced by the stimulation of the disease, which leads to necrosis of liver cells, nodular regeneration, etc., eventually leads to the occurrence of cirrhosis. Because of the strong early liver compensatory function, the patients were mostly asymptomatic.
With the development of cirrhosis, the damage of liver function will be aggravated in the later stage, involving multiple organs and systems, and even carcinogenesis. If the condition is relatively mild in the early stage, the discovery is timely, and the rational and standardized treatment can effectively control the development of the disease, so as to achieve the purpose of cure.
Therefore, for cirrhosis, early detection of control, abnormal immediately treatment. If the following five manifestations appear, it may be a signal of cirrhosis:
1. Liver disease face
Clinical data show that most patients with cirrhosis have different degrees of "liver disease face" in the early stage, that is, the face is dark, the elasticity of the face drops, the black eye circle and so on.
In severe cases, patients will also appear "bronze face". This is because after liver function is decreased, it is impossible to complete the inactivation of estrogen, and the increase of tyrosinase secretion, which leads to the accelerated production and accumulation of melanin, which leads to the patients' increasingly poor face color.
2. Digestive tract abnormality
The liver itself also participates in the digestive function. The bile secreted by the liver is the main substance for digestion and absorption of fat, and the liver also has many functions such as storing fat and glycogen. When cirrhosis occurs, affected by the decline of liver function, patients will also have different degrees of digestive abnormalities, including anorexia, diarrhea, nausea and anorexia oil.
3. Pain in liver
Although there is no pain nerve distribution on the surface of liver, there will be different degrees of pain in liver region in cirrhosis of liver development, mainly dull pain and traction pain. This is because cirrhosis will cause liver enlargement, fluid accumulation, etc., thus causing traction to the liver envelope, thus producing a certain sense of pain, with the development of the pain will gradually aggravate.
4. Jaundice symptoms
Most patients with cirrhosis will have jaundice in the middle and late stage, which is also related to the impairment of liver function. Bile can not be secreted and discharged normally, and the bilirubin content released into the blood increases, which results in jaundice face.
The Yellow sclera was the main stage, followed by the changes of skin color and stool color. With the accumulation of bile acid salt, there will be pruritus of skin in different degrees.
5. Changes in sexual organs
With the continuous development of cirrhosis, patients will have testicles shrinkage, breast swelling pain and other manifestations. Because the liver has the effect of regulating endocrine, it has certain inactivation function for estrogen. When the liver is damaged, the secretion of estrogen will increase a lot and the secretion of male hormone will decrease, which will lead to the problems of male testicle atrophy and breast enlargement. However, women may have symptoms such as menstrual disorder and rare pubic hair.
For patients with chronic liver disease, if not controlled and treated in time, the later stage of cirrhosis may be more likely. Therefore, once diagnosed as chronic liver disease, we should actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment, and should regularly review the liver. If the above several manifestations appear, it may be the signal of liver cirrhosis coming.
