To deal with fatty liver, or a good medicine
When the momentum of the incidence of fatty liver and higher living standards, diet diversification go hand in hand, effective diagnosis and treatment of fatty liver to become the public are most concerned about the health of Taiwan.
1, mild fatty liver concealed strong
Fatty liver is due to various causes excessive accumulation of fat in liver cells of the lesion. Fatty liver and normal liver weight accounted for 3% to 4%, if the fat content of more than 5% of liver weight shall be fatty liver, severe cases, the amount of fat up to 40% ~ 50%, fatty liver lipids are mainly triglycerides.
According to the Shanghai branch of the First People’s Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Wang Yaping, director of physician, due to fatty liver in non-infectious, no significant pain or fever performance, so the rate of early detection and early awareness rate is always low. When the hidden highly fatty liver was found, the course of the disease often has entered the stage of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis, liver metabolism had decreased to normal or even lost. At this point even if the active treatment is also difficult to pathological changes of the liver returned to normal. Therefore, the risk of fatty liver not only in the latter part of the lives and health of its great dangers, but also in its early asymptomatic covert.
Second, high-risk groups need to be vigilant
No matter how well concealed fatty liver, there are always clues to prompt its existence. Fatty liver and obesity, overweight, excessive alcohol consumption, diabetes, gout, hyperlipidemia, hyperviscosity, hypercalcemia and other metabolic disorder closely related to an increase, so obese people, excessive drinkers, high-fat diet less mover, chronic liver disease and elderly endocrine patients, especially the need for regular adoption of B-ultrasound findings and see whether duration of disease and geometry. A fatty liver for clinical studies have shown that about 1 / 4 of patients with fatty liver have been co-existence of liver fibrosis, 1.5% to 8.0% of patients with cirrhosis of the liver occurs. WANG Ya-ping, director of Doctors also warned that some only a sense of fatigue or performance as a good appetite, I am pleased greasy, cholesterol, elevated triglycerides people must exercise extreme caution.
Third, symptomatic treatment programs difficult to dig up the roots
In recent years, as China’s diet and lifestyle changes in the incidence of fatty liver increasing and has become the second largest after the viral liver disease. It is reported that Shanghai, the incidence of fatty liver disease in the country, “top.” Western medicine treatment for fatty liver impressive, and symptomatic difficult to dig up the roots. And more patients with fatty liver that is not a major illness, and no need for treatment. Efforts were also made in the life of a small number of patients to reduce high-fat diet, more exercise, less alcohol. But not long-term adherence, and soon re-emerged. Laissez-faire attitude, absolutely nothing on behalf of the majority of people approach the diagnosis and treatment of fatty liver.
Beijing University of Chinese Medicine Dr. Lee expressed sorrow, when the emerging clinical liver pain, abnormal liver function, fatigue, nausea, impotence, amenorrhea and other symptoms, and even developed into liver fibrosis and early cirrhosis only when caused by patient attention, this is very regrettable.
Fourth, traditional Chinese medicine: Cut the basic effect is significant
Dr Lee explained that Chinese medicine in the “liver” is not only an anatomical concept, but also a pathophysiological concept. Chinese medicine, the liver is one of the five viscera, and gall-phase table. Liver with a l-fat, hi be reached, evil, depression, body with yin and yang properties. Its function is the main Shuxie, the main reservoir of blood, the main possession of the soul, the Secretary reproduction.
Chinese Medicine in the non-fatty liver disease name, but according to their clinical manifestations, most of them belong to “product license”, “phlegm swelling of the liver” and so the scope of Diseases, and Liver depression and phlegm related. Chinese medicine, fatty liver not only with insufficient innate endowments, but also with the diet section, the spleen lost health movement, moisture detention, run-Sheng Tan, resulting in liver failure Shuxie, phlegm knot, which cost Yu hepatobiliary disease.
Therefore, most of Chinese medicine treatment of fatty liver with lipid-lowering compound Yigan side expectorant stasis, diarrhea turbid qi mainly due to demand special emphasis on the trial license, syndrome differentiation, distinguishing the disease on the governing and the importance attached to the patient’s overall adjustment and physical improved, so in order to receive noticeable effect. Such as the use of Shugan Qi drugs (Bupleurum), Phlegm stasis drugs (Mustard Seed), diarrhea turbid qi drugs (all Trichosanthes), Huayu Sanjie medicine (leeches).
According to Dr Lee’s clinical application and research statistics show that after 3-6 months of treatment, the patient improved physical phlegm and blood stasis, liver fat deposition gradually removed. Meanwhile, patients with cardiac, cerebrovascular disease and metabolic syndrome have a good preventive and therapeutic effects.
Of course, in the treatment of the same time, the liver should not take drugs and lipid-lowering drugs, avoid contact with toxic substances from the liver. Diet to achieve overall control, structural adjustment, non-meal, non-greasy, to ensure sufficient quantities of fresh fruits and vegetables, to correct intestinal flora disturbance. Temperance quit smoking. Flexibility of aerobic exercise time each day. Research has shown that, with the body weight decreased significantly, most obese fatty liver can be significantly improved.
It is understood that Europe and the United States for the study of fatty liver has been more than 50 years of history, is now promoting the use of Chinese herbal treatment of fatty liver.
