The liver is an important organ in the human body and mainly has detoxification and other functions. If there is excessive fat accumulation or liver cell cytoplasmic changes, it is easy to suffer from fatty liver, which will endanger people's health. What are the main symptoms and dangers of fatty liver?

1. Symptoms of fatty liver

(1) If the patient’s condition is discovered early and is in the primary stage, the patient may suffer from loss of appetite, fatigue, nausea and vomiting Conditions such as abdominal distension and pain in the liver area need to be distinguished from many diseases to avoid confusion. At the same time, the patient will feel disgusted with oil, accompanied by nausea and vomiting. In the later stage, problems such as drooling, dizziness, low blood pressure, and slow pulse may also occur. For patients, if not treated in time, various diseases will occur in the later stage.

(2) If the patient's condition worsens and already has moderate fatty liver, the patient will suffer from loss of appetite, weight loss and abdominal pain, which will have a great impact on the patient's immunity and requires Timely treatment can alleviate and control the condition and prevent it from getting worse.

(3) If the patient's condition is severe fatty liver, what are the symptoms of fatty liver? The patient will have numbness in the limbs, skin ecchymosis, glossitis, angular cheilitis and other problems, which are harmful to the patient's health. pose a great threat. At the same time, diseases such as ascites, lower limb edema, and hypokalemia may also occur.

2. Dangers of fatty liver

(1) Lead to cirrhosis and liver cancer. Fatty liver is the product of liver lipid metabolism disorder and is also a causative factor that aggravates liver damage. Long-term liver cell degeneration can lead to liver cell regeneration and necrosis, leading to liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. Liver cirrhosis has a higher chance of developing secondary liver cancer. Once liver cirrhosis develops into the decompensated stage, hepatic coma, hepatic ascites, massive gastrointestinal bleeding, liver failure, hepatorenal syndrome, etc. are very likely to occur, and the end of life is imminent. Far away.

(2) Inducing hypertension and arteriosclerosis. Patients with fatty liver have disordered lipid metabolism, high triglycerides in the blood, often accompanied by hyperlipidemia, and increased blood viscosity, which promotes the formation of atherosclerosis. Arteriosclerosis is closely related to hypertension and coronary heart disease. Research shows that patients with alcoholic fatty liver disease combined with hypertension and coronary heart disease can easily lead to myocardial infarction and sudden death.

(3) Inducing or exacerbating diabetes. Lipid metabolism disorders in patients with fatty liver can cause and aggravate glucose metabolism disorders. Diabetes is a disease mainly caused by glucose metabolism disorder due to insufficient insulin secretion or insulin resistance. It is characterized by hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and hyperaminoacidemia. About 50% of diabetic patients have fatty liver disease, which shows that fatty liver and diabetes are inseparable.

(4) Reduce the body’s immune and detoxification functions. The liver is the largest phagocytic system of reticuloendothelial cells, which can transform various invading and endogenous antigens through phagocytosis, sequestration and elimination. Fatty degeneration or necrosis of liver cells will reduce the immune function of the liver, making it easier to be infected due to poor resistance. In addition, liver cells turn all toxic substances into harmless substances and excrete them from the body through oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, conjugation, etc. After hepatocyte fatty degeneration, the detoxification function declines, which can easily cause the retention of endotoxins and exotoxins in the body, causing toxicity to the body.

3. Treatment of fatty liver

(1) Use the end of your thumb or index finger to press Zusanli acupoint on both sides, with the fingertips attached to the skin motionless, from light to heavy, continuously and evenly Press firmly. Massage each side 30 to 50 times a day until the local area feels sore and swollen.

(2) Press the Zhongyuan point with your palms, and press the Jianli point and Xiayuan point with your fingers. When inhaling, rub your hands from right up to left; when exhaling, move your hands from left to right. Knead down and to the right, inhaling and exhaling once, which can be done 8 to 64 times in a row. After that, massage in the opposite direction, using the same method and frequency as before. Finally, do 3 times of pressing, releasing, and inhaling, using the same method as above.

(3) Cupping therapy can also effectively treat fatty liver.

Select the chest and back Dazhui, liver, spleen, Ganshu, Spleenshu, Gallshu, and Qimen reflection areas for cupping, and leave the cupping for 30 to 40 minutes. It should be noted that patients with mild fatty liver disease are better treated with cupping therapy; severe patients should be treated mainly with traditional Chinese and Western medicine, combined with cupping therapy, which will achieve twice the result with half the effort.

(3) In the diet, eat less meat soup, chicken soup, fish soup and other foods with high nitrogen leaching content; do not eat animal offal, chicken skin, fatty meat, fish roe, crab roe; dinner must be small Eat, and avoid snacking before going to bed. Control blood sugar, various sweets and high-calorie foods, such as vegetables, fruits, chocolates, desserts, etc. with high sugar content. People with alcoholic liver disease must quit drinking.

(4) You must adjust your mentality. A good mentality is particularly important. Reasonable exercise can increase the decomposition and consumption of fat in the liver, reduce fat content, help reverse fatty liver, and improve liver function. If fatty liver causes abnormal liver function or elevated transaminases, you should take lipid-lowering drugs under the guidance of a doctor.
