  Fatty liver disease: A frequent disorder called fatty liver disease (steatosis) is brought on by an accumulation of too much fat in the liver. A tiny amount of fat can be found in a healthy liver. When fat amounts to 5% to 10% of the weight of your liver, it becomes an issue. The majority of the time, fatty liver disease doesn't result in any serious issues or interfere with your liver's ability to function regularly. The problem, however, worsens over time for 7% to 30% of those who have it. It advances via three phases:   Scar tissue forms where your liver is damaged. This process is called fibrosis. Your liver becomes inflamed (swollen), which damages its tissue. This stage is called            steatohepatitis. Extensive scar tissue replaces healthy tissue. At this point, you have cirrhosis of the liver. Cirrhosis of the liver:  Cirrhosis of the liver is brought on by significant liver injury. The liver's function is slowed...

  When following a liver cirrhosis diet, consume a lot of nutrient-rich, minimally processed foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. Limit alcohol, processed foods, foods high in sodium, and unhealthy fats in the interim. Liver Cirrhosis Diet : Due to changes in metabolism and digestive issues that arise when the liver deteriorates, cirrhotic individuals typically experience malnutrition. In light of the fact that foods like protein, salt, and sugar make your liver work harder, a need it might no longer be able to meet, the food and beverages you consume every day are crucial if you have this disease. One of the most vital organs, the liver carries out around 500 different functions. Cirrhosis damages the liver, making it incapable of performing one of its most crucial tasks, which is helping the body absorb nutrients from the food you eat. A cirrhosis diet can help you acquire the nutrients you need, lessen the workload on your liver, stay healthy, and s...

  The liver controls how sex hormones, thyroid hormones, cortisone, and other adrenal hormones are distributed throughout the body. Any excess from the body is transformed or eliminated by it. Emotional imbalances could result if the liver is unable to perform this function effectively. It's intriguing to consider how the liver and hormones interact. Since hormones are produced by a variety of body glands, not many people realise that the liver does not produce hormones on its own. The liver, which breaks down or metabolises hormones once they have served their purpose in the body, actually plays a crucial part in hormonal imbalances. The hormones in the steroid hormone family, which are broken down by the liver, include: Cortisone which controls the immune system The sex hormones which control our sex life and body shape Aldosterone which controls the balance of the minerals sodium and potassium and water in the body These hormones can build up in the body and lead t...

  One of the most typical concerns during pregnancy is gastrointestinal (GI) problems. After becoming pregnant, some women may start having GI problems. Gastrointestinal issues primarily affect the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and rectum, but they can also affect the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas, as well as other digestive organs. Prior to becoming pregnant, some women may already have chronic GI conditions that could get worse and need for specific attention while pregnant. Gallstones , gastroesophageal reflux disease, nausea and vomiting, hyperemesis gravidarum, diarrhoea, and constipation are a few of the most typical gastrointestinal problems women go through during pregnancy. Prior to becoming pregnant, some women may have received a diagnosis for GI conditions including Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. It's also possible that these underlying issues existed but weren't recognised before becoming pregnant. Some Causes of Gastro...

  Systemic COVID-19 disease also has an impact on the liver, eyes, skin, kidneys, endocrine system, and eyes. Despite the lack of information, patients with COVID-19-related liver problems have been shown to experience longer hospital stays. More than 4 out of 5 patients who display symptoms of COVID-19, the coronavirus infection , only have minor sickness. However, the virus may make you more critically ill if you have preexisting medical conditions, such as liver illness. Severe acute respiratory pattern coronavirus- 2( SARS- CoV- 2) is a new coronavirus that causes coronavirus complaint 19( COVID- 19), which has infected millions of people worldwide in only a many months. A nonage, but significant number, of infected individualities bear hospitalization and ferocious care. From the launch of this new contagion epidemic, it was apparent that fat and/ or diabetic individualities had a bad prognostic for COVID- 19 progression, explosively suggesting an association between li...

Hepatitis C virus prenatal diagnosis benefits both the mother and the unborn child. Compared to people who contract HCV as adolescents, children who are perinatally infected develop cirrhosis earlier in life. Poor maternal and newborn outcomes are more likely to occur in pregnant women with cirrhosis than in those without it. Most women with hepatitis C who become pregnant have a healthy pregnancy in which the hepatitis C virus (HCV) does not pass to the foetus. Hepatitis C, however, may increase the dangers of pregnancy. There is a 5% possibility that an unborn child will contract HCV from a pregnant woman. Pregnancy difficulties may also be more likely in those with cirrhosis, a condition where the liver has developed scar tissue. HCV , a virus that transmits through direct contact with blood, causes hepatitis C, a liver condition. Those with HCV should take care to prevent transmission because the virus is contagious. Hepatitis C can be acute, which means that it only lasts...
