The liver is an important detoxification organ of the human body. If you don't pay attention to the maintenance of the liver at ordinary times, the liver function will become low and the toxins in the human body will not be discharged, which is very harmful to health. The human body has some manifestations that remind you to start protecting your liver. Let's take a look at what shows that you need to protect your liver! At the same time, protecting the liver can not be done at once, but it needs to be nursed back to health at ordinary times.

1. Remind you of the performance of protecting the liver

Performance 1: Acne increases

Luteal hormone in human body plays a role in promoting sebum secretion. The liver can destroy luteal hormone and adjust hormone balance. Therefore, the decrease of liver function will increase sebum secretion and eventually lead to acne.

performance 2: easy to get drunk

some people usually drink a lot of alcohol, but now they feel "drunk" after drinking a little. This sign reminds you that the liver function is reduced, the liver is damaged, and the liver cannot completely decompose acetaldehyde, an alcohol metabolite.

Manifestation 3: Wounds are prone to purulent infection

The liver plays an important role in human metabolism, and if the liver function is damaged, skin regeneration will be hindered. In addition, the decline of detoxification function of the liver is easy to cause wound infection with bacteria.

Manifestation 4: Blackness of face

The liver plays an important role in iron metabolism, and there are iron components stored in the liver at ordinary times. If the liver cells are destroyed, the iron in the liver cells will flow into the blood vessels, which will increase the iron content in the blood and lead to black face. This symptom is most likely to appear in men and postmenopausal women. Therefore, when there are signs of blackness, we must be alert to whether the liver is damaged and protect the liver in time.

Exhibit 5: the nose is red

The so-called "red nose" is formed by the expansion of capillaries in the nose. Although "red nose" is not necessarily caused by liver damage, women are prone to "red nose" when liver function is reduced and hormones are disordered.

Manifestation 6: Spider nevus and erythema palmaris

Some patients with liver diseases, especially those with liver cirrhosis, will have spider nevus and erythema palmaris. Spider nevus is a little red dot that appears on the skin. This little red dot, slightly higher than the skin, sticks out some tiny capillaries from the red dot, which looks like spider's limbs and feet, so it is called "Spider nevus". If you press the tip of a pencil in the center of little red dot, the dilated capillaries will disappear, and once the tip of the pencil is loosened, they will reappear. This kind of spider nevus often appears on the face, neck and upper limbs, but it is rare below the navel. If the patient's liver function improves, spider nevus will also decrease or even disappear.
