Please take care of our heart and soul

The heart and liver are called precious because our body can’t live without them for a moment. The heart is the engine of the human body, without which we would collapse instantly, and the liver is the energy manufacturing plant and waste remover of the human body, without which we would slowly collapse in pain. We can’t live without them! Of course other organs are equally important. We should all take good care of every organ in our body. The reason why myocardial infarction is so frightening and palpitating is that it comes so suddenly and goes so fast that people around us are not yet prepared to accept the reality in their hearts! That’s why people with knowledge now know to prevent this disease early. However there is another organ in our body that is also very important, the liver, which still many knowledgeable people are still not aware of and still do not take it into account. The liver is a leader by example. In Chinese medicine, the liver is known as the general of the internal organs because it has the function of draining and regulating the blood, the power of hiding blood and nourishing it, and the effect of transforming and synthesizing it. The liver is composed of about 2.5 billion liver cells, each of which has two major functions: synthesis and transformation, excretion and secretion, which can keep what is useful and reassemble it to where it is needed, and excrete what is toxic by breaking it down into non-toxic components. Each hepatocyte has three faces: the face of the hepatocyte in contact with the hepatocyte, the face of the hepatocyte in contact with the blood vessels, and the face of the hepatocyte in contact with the bile ducts. The hepatocytes exchange substances through the contact surface with the blood vessels and take in nutrients and recombine them into three major energy sources: glucose, fat and protein. Through the contact surface of hepatocytes and hepatocytes, they exchange information on their functional status, adjust the regeneration of hepatocytes and repair liver function; through the contact surface of hepatocytes and bile ducts, they produce and secrete bile, which becomes an indispensable component of digestive juices in the digestive tract. The blood flow of the liver is 1000-1800ml per minute, which is equivalent to processing at least 1,88 tons of blood per day. If we have 7 liters of blood in our body, then it means that this blood passes through the liver 205 times per day, circulating nearly nine times per hour! It secretes 600-1000ml of bile per day. Liver cells, like other cells, are composed of cell membrane, nucleus, organelles, and cytosol. Both the cytosol and the organelles contain various functional enzymes, with glutathione transaminase predominating in the hepatic cytosol and glutathione aminotransferase in the hepatocyte organelles. The hepatocyte membrane has many small pores through which the cell can exchange substances with the outside world. When the cell is enlarged, the pores in the cell membrane are enlarged, and the glutathione in the cytosol escapes from the enlarged pores. If the cell membrane swells and ruptures, the organelles in the cell will leak out and mix with the blood stream, and the transaminases in the blood will increase. How much damage is done? The liver is a hard-working organ. The liver is the only organ in the adult body that can regenerate and has the potential to function after injury. Unfortunately, this regeneration is often interfered with or difficult to occur due to a variety of factors, causing it to become a disorderly process. Incomplete regeneration results in nodular structural changes. Some scientists have experimentally calculated that a single hepatocyte can divide at least 34 times, producing 1,7×10 tenth power daughter cells. Animal studies have shown that 70-80% of a normal liver can still meet the needs of normal physiological function after removal. Therefore, to properly assess the function of the liver, the degree of liver damage cannot be assessed by the patient’s perception alone. It must be assessed by liver function tests and medical imaging. In acute and chronic hepatitis activity, transaminases are the most sensitive laboratory indicators. In the case of cirrhosis, direct bilirubin, platelets and medical imaging are the more sensitive tests. Here medical imaging is like a ledger, whether the liver has been inflammatory activity, the degree of fibrosis, early detection of liver cancer will be recorded here, therefore, for a specialist, each patient should not only be told what disease he has, but more importantly, how to get well. Let him know the importance of protecting the liver and the scientific method of protecting the liver, its importance is manifested in the fact that the liver from the day the lesion occurs it has embarked on a path that cannot be returned, although you use the best medicine and the best method can not be restored to its original appearance. Just like a beam is painted when its wood is very good, it can greatly extend its service life, if it is not painted, it will quickly decay, then paint, is the best paint can not restore the original wood. Therefore, standardized treatment method is an important means to prevent liver disease from continuing to deteriorate, and is an effective measure to reduce cirrhosis of the liver and reduce mortality. What is considered standardized treatment? 1.Take medication on time, do not miss, do not take late, do not take indiscriminately, do not stop taking medication at will, and take medication in compliance with the doctor. 2, regularly do the relevant items of examination, such as liver function is not normal one to two weeks after the use of drugs should do liver function test, to understand whether the use of drugs effective, hepatitis B antiviral treatment, a month after the hepatitis B viral volume test should be done, want to stop using antiviral drugs, in addition to the hepatitis B viral volume test, should also do hepatitis B five quantitative test. Any hepatitis B patient must have medical imaging information because it can detect liver cancer at an early stage! Don’t ever think that everything is fine after taking the medicine, because there are already many patients who have voiced their remorse for this! 3. Pay attention to diet and rest. People with liver disease must not overeat, must not drink, and must not add extra burden to the liver. To pay attention to rest especially at night, do not easily go to occupy the liver self-repair of the golden time.
