What Is Cirrhosis Of The Liver ?
Cirrhosis of the liver refers to all forms of liver disease characterised by a significant loss of cells. It is one of the most serious hepatic diseases. The liver gradually con¬tracts in size and becomes hard and leathery.
The liver is one fo the most important glandular organs in the body. It is located high up on the right side of the abdomen just under the diaphragm. It is a vast chemical laboratory which performs many important functions. It produces bile, cholesterol, lecithin, blood albumin which is vital to the removal of tissue wastes, prothrombin necessary for the clotting of blood and numerous enzymes. It inactivates hormones no longer needed, synthesises many amino acids used in building tissues and breaks proteins into sugar and fat when re quired for energy. It stores vitamins and minerals. It also destroys harmful substances and detoxifies drugs, poisons, chemicals and toxins from bacterial infections. Liver damage interferes with all of these functions.
In cirrhosis of the liver, although regenerative activity continues, the loss of liver cells exceeds cell replacement. There is also distortion of the vascular system which in-terferes with the portal blood flow through,the liver. The progressive degeneration of liver structure and function may ultimately lead to hepatic failure and death. The most common of several form of cirrhosis is portal cir¬rhosis, also known as haennoc's cirrhosis.
Symptoms: In the early stages of the disease, there may be nothing more than frequent attacks of gas and indiges¬tion, with occasional nausea and vomiting. There may be some abdominal pain and loss o1 weight. In the advanced stage, the patient develops a low grade fever. He has a foul breath, jaundiced skin and distended veins in the ab¬domen. Reddish hairlike markings, resembling small spiders, may appear on the face, neck, arms and trunk. The abdomen becomes bloated and swollen, the mind gets clouded and there may be considerable bleeding from the stomach.
Causes: Excessive use of alcohol over a long period is the most potent cause of cirrhosis of the liver. It has been estimated that 1 out of 12 chronic alcoholics in the United States develops cirrhosis. The disease can progress to the end-stage of hepatic failure, if the person does not abstain from alcohol. Cirrhosis appears to be related to the duration of alcohol intake and the quantity consumed daily. Recent research indicates that the average duration of alcohol intake to produce cirrhosis is 10 years and the dose is estimated to be in excess of 16 ounces of alcohol daily.
Poor nutrition can be another causative factor in the development or cirrhosis and a chronic alcoholic usually suffers from a severe malnutrition too, as he seldom eats. Other causes of cirrhosis are excessive intake of highly seasoned food, habitual taking of quinine for a prolonged period in tropical climate and drug treatments for syphilis, fever and other diseases. It may also result from a highly toxic condition of the system in general. In fact, anything which continually over-burdens the liver cells and leads to their final breakdown can be a contributing cause of cirrhosis.
