The beginning of a new era in the fight against liver disease

The liver is one of the most important organs in the body, weighing about 1.5 kilograms, making it the second largest organ in a healthy adult body. The liver performs a wide variety of functions, making it the most complex organ in our body. Its functions include the production of proteins, vitamins, bile, clotting factors and other substances, as well as the removal of harmful toxins that enter our bodies through the digestive system. Maintaining a healthy liver is essential to living a long and healthy life.

Common diseases of the liver

Hepatitis: It causes inflammation of the liver, and viral hepatitis occurs when the inflammation is caused by a virus. There are different types of viral hepatitis, including hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. It is important to note that hepatitis A and B vaccines can reduce the risk of contracting these types of hepatitis.
Fatty liver disease: Accumulation of fat in the liver is the main cause of fatty liver disease. There are two types: alcoholic fatty liver disease, which is primarily caused by alcohol abuse, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, which has unclear causes but is linked to obesity, high cholesterol and gastric bypass surgery.
Autoimmune diseases: Some autoimmune diseases can lead to liver damage. Three common immune disorders affecting the liver are primary biliary sclerosis, primary biliary cirrhosis, and autoimmune hepatitis.
Medication-causing liver disease: Certain medications and nutritional supplements can negatively affect the liver.
Hereditary diseases of the liver: Some liver diseases can be inherited from either parent. Examples are hemochromatosis, Wilson's disease, and alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency.
Liver cancer: Primary liver cancer originates in the liver, while secondary liver cancer occurs when cancer spreads to the liver from another part of the body. The most common type of liver cancer is hepatocellular carcinoma, which often appears as multiple malignant patches or can initially appear as a single tumor.
Cirrhosis: Cirrhosis is an enlargement or scarring of fibrous liver tissue due to damage caused by various diseases and conditions, such as alcoholism. While the liver can recover from injuries, the formation of scar tissue interferes with its normal function. Most chronic liver diseases, including cirrhosis, cannot be fixed without treatment. Chronic liver failure occurs when a large portion of the liver is injured and can no longer function normally. It gradually deteriorates over time. Acute liver failure, on the other hand, occurs suddenly, often due to poisoning or poisoning.

Tips and information for maintaining a healthy liver as part of a healthy lifestyle:

1.Follow a balanced diet: eat food rich in fruits, vegetables, raw meats and whole grains while minimizing processed and high-sugar foods.
2. Physical activity: Regular exercise helps promote liver health.
3. Reduce or avoid alcohol consumption: Excess alcohol consumption can cause liver damage, so it is important to reduce or abstain from alcohol consumption.
4. Avoid drug use and smoking: The use of illegal drugs and smoking can harm the liver and overall health, so it is advisable to refrain from these habits.
5. Maintain a healthy weight: Obesity can contribute to liver disease, so it is important to maintain a healthy weight through proper diet and exercise.
6. Periodic check-ups: Schedule routine check-ups with your doctor, which may include blood tests to monitor your liver function.

Treatment of liver disease in contemporary medicine

Diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases has greatly advanced thanks to scientific advances and the use of new technology and procedures. Molecular diagnostic techniques, such as coronavirus testing, have helped detect and control hepatitis B and C viruses. Non-invasive techniques, including fluorography, liver elastography, and magnetic resonance imaging, can now measure levels of lipids and inflammation in the liver, ruling out the need for painfully invasive procedures such as liver biopsy.Advances in technology have also led to a shift from open procedures to minimally invasive robotic surgeries. Effective antiviral treatments are available for hepatitis B and C viruses, which improve the outlook for these conditions. In addition, new therapies are being developed to halt the progression of fatty liver disease to cirrhosis, and new medications are being introduced to manage the disease. Modern radiological and endoscopic procedures have significantly improved treatment outcomes for cirrhosis and liver cancer.
