Liver disease is not silent, there are three signs of bad liver, accounting for one, check liver function as soon as possible

The ambulance whizzed past. A woman in the car was clutching her abdomen tightly with her right hand, sweating all over her head. The medical examination showed that the liver hardness was 13, which was a diagnosis of liver cirrhosis.

Further examination revealed that excess aflatoxin was found in the blood.

It is understood that the woman, surnamed Hu, is 35 years old. After her divorce, she worked in the city alone. Yesterday afternoon, she suddenly felt unbearable abdominal pain when she went to work, and her colleague quickly dialed 120.

Later, I learned that Ms. Hu likes to eat fungus. For convenience, she often soaks one pot at a time. When needed, she picks up and washes it before cooking.

Reminder: Do not eat the long-soaked fungus

Fungus is a dish that often appears on the table. Fried meat with fungus, scrambled eggs with fungus, and cold fungus are very popular because of their good taste.

Dried fungus is non-toxic, and the gum in the fungus can absorb impurities in the digestive system and accelerate detoxification.

Dried fungus can be soaked for half an hour. If the soaking time is too long, it is easy to be contaminated by a fungus called aflatoxin. Aflatoxin is the most toxic fungus in nature that we know so far, especially for liver cells. The most toxic effect, the fastest can lead to liver lesions in 24h.

Aflatoxin is resistant to high temperature, and the general cooking temperature cannot destroy its toxicity. After cooking, it can still pose a threat to the body.

You must know that there are no pain-sensing nerves in the liver, which means that liver problems will not cause severe pain like the stomach. In addition, the liver has a strong "compensatory" ability, and 30% of a healthy liver can maintain normal liver function. This is why most patients with liver disease are already very ill when they are diagnosed.

In fact, the upper body of liver disease is not silent, there are three "special signals" of poor liver, and one of the three "special signals" also advises you to check liver function as soon as possible

1. Yellowing of the sclera

The sclera is the white of the eye, and the yellowish sclera is a typical symptom of jaundice, mostly caused by excessive bilirubin in the blood.

Bilirubin is a kind of pigment in bile. It is toxic, but it is generally negative in the body. If there is a problem in the liver, it will cause the metabolic disorder of bilirubin. The content of bilirubin in the blood increases, and it is positive, which will lead to the sclera. Appears yellow.

In addition, excessive bilirubin in the blood can also cause yellowing of nails, yellowing of sweat, and yellowing in tears in severe cases.

2. Spider mole

Spider moles are named for their shape resembling a spider web. They mostly appear on the face, arms, shoulders and chest. They are red. The center point of the mole is slightly raised. After pressing the center point, the surrounding spider web-like red disappears, and it will recover after loosening. undisturbed.

This is a typical symptom of liver cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis. The liver's ability to metabolize and inactivate hormones is weakened, resulting in disordered estrogen metabolism and increased levels, causing subcutaneous mucosal arterioles to dilate.

3. Shoulder pain

Seeing this disease, many people may wonder: the liver is thousands of miles away from the shoulder, what is the relationship between shoulder pain and the liver?

In fact, most liver cancer patients will have shoulder pain as the first symptom or even the main symptom. Liver cancer can easily affect the right diaphragm, causing traction pain, and patients with right shoulder pain.

Liver disease is not easy to find and treat, so how can we prevent it?

1. Drink more tea

The liver likes to be moist, but is afraid of dryness. Drinking more tea can nourish the liver and accelerate detoxification.

Adding liver-nourishing small plants to the cup can double the liver-nourishing effect.

Liver nourishing five gentlemen:

1. Cassia seed: nourishing liver and improving eyesight, clearing heat and detoxifying;

2. Chrysanthemum: reduce liver fire, detoxify liver;

3. Honeysuckle: nourishing and protecting the liver, soothing the liver and regulating qi, and reducing anger;

4. Burdock root: detoxify and nourish liver, laxative and intestines;

5. Osmanthus: Nourishes the liver and lungs, reduces inflammation and resolves phlegm.

Prepare appropriate amount of sweet-scented osmanthus, chrysanthemum, honeysuckle, cassia seed, burdock root, etc., boil for about 5 minutes, and drink it instead of tea, one or two cups a day, which has an excellent effect on liver maintenance.

2. Drink less alcohol

It is the consensus of most people that drinking alcohol damages the liver. In fact, it is not alcohol but acetaldehyde that really damages liver cells after drinking.

The main component of liquor is ethanol. After entering the human body, more than 90% of the alcohol needs to be metabolized and decomposed by the liver. It first generates acetaldehyde, then metabolizes it into acetic acid, and finally decomposes into carbon dioxide and water for excretion.

Acetaldehyde has a direct toxic effect on liver cells. Drinking a lot of alcohol will produce a large amount of metabolites such as acetaldehyde. In the long run, the risk of alcoholic fatty liver disease will soar, and even induce liver fibrosis, liver cirrhosis and even liver cancer.
