Cirrhosis.
Cirrhosis is the death of liver cells, causing the liver to gradually shrink in size.
Serious dysfunction of the liver occurs. The normal tissue of the organ is gradually replaced by nodules of abnormal cells that do not do any useful work.
Growing, this connective tissue squeezes vessels of the liver, which leads to the death of large parts of tissue.
Cirrhosis is scary because it is irreversible. Cirrhosis is the agony of the liver. Medical practice knows only single cases of complete cure of this disease.
In about half of the cases, cirrhosis is a consequence of untreated viral hepatitis (mostly C). Besides, poisoning with poisonous substances (arsenic, fluorine, antibiotics) can lead to cirrhosis, but much more often — long-term alcohol consumption.
Often cirrhosis of the liver can also be the final, already irreversible phase of chronic hepatitis.
A large number of cases of cirrhosis are fatal, especially in people who abuse alcohol.
The main principles which every cirrhosis patient should follow will considerably alleviate the course of the disease:
— adherence to the regime — limitation of physical activity, bed rest;
— Strict diet (diet № 5) with high content of vitamins;
— Complete, categorical refusal to drink alcohol;
— avoidance of medications harmful to the liver — medications to relieve unpleasant symptoms should be prescribed by a doctor, because the most innocuous medication with a damaged liver can be devastating.
