Recognizing the risks of fatty liver!
Today, fatty liver has become a serious potential threat to human common diseases. Then fatty liver how much harm on the human body do? Mainly summarized in the following areas:
1. Lead to liver metabolic disorders
The liver is the body’s largest, features a lot of substantive material metabolism of the most active organ glands. It is involved in human digestion, excretion, detoxification, as well as sugar, fat, protein and other metabolic functions, is to maintain the activities of a human life is not a lack of vital organs. Therefore, once the liver cells are a large number of fatty infiltration and fatty degeneration of liver cells into the liver, bound for the normal structure of the liver series of changes to varying degrees, affect the body’s normal digestive function and liver metabolism, so that the body-related systems, such as biochemistry, plasma proteins, lipids, liver function, endocrine system abnormalities. What harm of fatty liver and thus the body’s absorption of lipids occurring obstacles, the human energy metabolism disorder occurs, thereby reducing the pathogenic bacteria, viruses and other pathogenic micro-organisms of defense capability.
2. Affect other diseases, the recovery
Because fatty liver is not – the independence of a disease, but is commonly found among various kinds of diseases, or is that fatty liver itself is done by a variety of diseases such as diabetes, liver caused by malnutrition, these diseases, a result of fatty liver different degrees of liver damage on the corresponding affected, cause of many illnesses long treatment or recovery of liver function can not be one of the reasons.
3. Add to the original lesion in vivo
Fatty liver if they are not active and effective treatment, some patients may be through the development of fatty liver hepatitis liver fibrosis or cirrhosis. Abroad, a research data shows that on average each year about 10% development of fatty liver cirrhosis. Fatty liver what harm, such as alcoholic fatty liver, once found around the central vein fibrosis, we can quickly move from the direct development of fatty liver to cirrhosis, which mostly related to a large number of alcohol-related.
As for non-alcoholic fatty liver, even though development of steatohepatitis in the past that it is a benign disease, it can only similar to the pathological changes in alcoholic hepatitis, as long as through active and effective treatment, weight control, can be reversed very low or almost non-occurrence of cirrhosis and liver failure. However, if left untreated, or nursed back to health, but also in part by diet, emotions, bad breaks, heavy workload and other factors, so that sicker, or even develop into cirrhosis of the liver. The study data indicate that severe obesity due to fatty liver disease, about l / 4 at the same time complicated with hepatic fibrosis.
