Bad liver, Urine Prophet? Reminder: There are 4 abnormalities in the toilet, I advise you to do a liver examination in time
"Urine" is a difficult topic, but it is an indispensable link for everyone and every day!
Human energy mainly comes from food, and food is not completely absorbed and utilized by the human body. Excess food residues, water, etc., naturally enter the excretion channel. When it accumulates to a certain amount, the nerves will receive signals. Pass it to the brain and everything will fall into place! However, don't rush to press the flush button, look back and you may be able to spot the problem!
Although urination and defecation are wastes excreted by the human body, it is also called a "health barometer". In addition to reflecting the health of the urinary system and gastrointestinal tract, the health of the liver can also affect the state of urination and defecation. If you have any of the following abnormalities in your bowel movements, watch out for the signal that your liver is damaged:
- Abnormal urine color
Under normal circumstances, a person's daily intake of water is about 1500-3000 ml. In addition to meeting the body's needs, the excess water will enter the kidneys and generate urine. The color of the urine of a healthy person should be transparent and yellowish. With the increase or decrease of water intake, the color of urine will change temporarily;
If there is a sudden change in the urine recently, the color is obviously yellow, or even strong tea-colored urine appears, this may be a signal of the arrival of liver disease. Because the metabolism of bilirubin is reduced after the liver is damaged, the color of bilirubin is orange-yellow. When it enters the kidney disease and is excreted in the urine, the color of the urine can be changed.
- Unusual smell of urine
Under normal circumstances, fresh urine does not have a strong taste. If the urine has a smell of rotten fruit and rotten eggs, or an unusual taste of fish with a sweet taste, it may be that the liver is severely damaged. Signal;
When the liver function is seriously damaged, methionine will not only release a large amount of ammonia after digestion and bacterial action, but also produce dimethyl sulfide, methyl mercaptan and other substances. It will be released in the urine.
- Do not ignore the symptoms of diarrhea
Gastrointestinal diseases are the first thing that many people think of when they have diarrhea. However, if the gastrointestinal function is healthy, the stool is not formed and the symptoms of diarrhea have occurred frequently recently, especially after eating greasy food, which may be caused by liver damage. Because the bile secreted by the liver is used to digest fats, fat-soluble vitamins, etc.;
When the liver is damaged, the production and excretion of bile will be reduced, and the ability of the liver to synthesize nutrients will also be limited, so patients will experience symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, and loss of appetite.
- Don't ignore black stool
Blackness is a typical manifestation of gastrointestinal bleeding, which means that the stool is abnormally black and shiny, and looks like tar. Usually, gastrointestinal bleeding is often related to gastrointestinal disease, but after ruling out the possibility of gastrointestinal disease, serious liver disease should be highly suspected!
For example, severe liver cirrhosis, liver cancer, etc., can be combined with portal hypertension and gastric varicose veins in the later stage. When patients eat too hard and rough food, gastrointestinal bleeding can be induced. Moreover, the coagulation function of patients with advanced liver disease is often destroyed, so the blood is not easy to stop, and in severe cases, it may even develop into massive gastrointestinal bleeding.
If you have the above four manifestations in the recent bowel movements, it means that you should have a physical examination. Even if it is not related to liver disease, it may be a signal of the arrival of other diseases, so you need to be vigilant! In addition, if you find yourself suffering from chronic liver disease, you need to actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment to avoid further development of the disease and cause greater harm.
