The liver is one of the most important organs in the human body, playing the role of digestion, processing, detoxification, protein and glycogen synthesis, and performing the important tasks of bile production and excretion, detoxification and waste elimination, etc. It is the largest “chemical factory” and “scavenger” in the human body. In cirrhosis, liver cells in the liver lobules lose their original functions due to inflammation, swelling, degeneration and necrosis, and the metabolism of substances in the liver becomes impaired, and liver function is inevitably impaired. If you do not take care of your liver at this time, you will inevitably experience a recurrence of liver disease or even life-threatening liver failure. For this reason, experts remind and appeal: for your own health, please pay special attention to take good care of your liver! If you are a patient with cirrhosis, you may wish to follow the following aspects. First, develop a good diet and maintain a balanced nutrition The liver is the site of protein synthesis, and the ability to synthesize protein decreases in cirrhosis, so it is especially important to consume a reasonable protein diet. Reasonable protein intake can ensure that the body has sufficient nutritional needs, but excessive protein intake in turn may induce the occurrence of hepatic encephalopathy, at this time should pay special attention to nutritional balance. Patients can eat a diet based on casein, cheese mixed into the right amount of chicken, fish, lean meat, eggs; some patients with cirrhosis are afraid to eat fat, if the patient does not have signs of poor digestive function and can adapt to the fat in food, do not have to restrict too much, the right amount of fat in food can increase body heat; biliary cirrhosis, it should be low-fat, low cholesterol diet; adequate carbohydrates Adequate carbohydrates can make the body reserve enough liver glycogen, cirrhotic patients can consume about 400 grams of starchy food every day to ensure adequate caloric energy. At the same time, attention should also be paid to a light, soft, easily digestible, non-stimulating diet and a small number of meals, do not eat hard and rough food, such as fried food, hard fruit food, because such food is easy to scratch the esophageal veins, causing life-threatening upper gastrointestinal bleeding; patients with edema or ascites should be given a low-salt diet. Second, patients with cirrhosis must absolutely prohibit alcohol Research shows that: the liver is almost the only place where alcohol metabolism, decomposition, alcohol damage to the liver is self-evident, any solution in which the alcohol content is small, into the body need to liver decomposition and metabolism, in the process of its decomposition of certain substances can make liver cells hypoxic ring death and fibrosis; scientific research also found that alcohol can inhibit the cell synthesis of glycoprotein and albumin The scientific research also found that alcohol can inhibit the secretion of glycoproteins and albumin synthesized by the cells. As you can imagine, if you keep drinking alcohol on top of severe liver cell damage and fibrosis, you are undoubtedly “throwing stones” at your liver. Therefore, doctors advise those who think that a small amount of alcohol or occasional alcohol is not a big deal: cirrhosis patients drinking alcohol is not a benefit, you must not take it lightly! Third, to maintain a relaxed mood and peace of mind cirrhosis patients are prone to irritability and anger, temperamental, emotions are often easy to lose control. Chinese medicine believes that anger hurts the liver, liver qi is not comfortable, liver qi stagnation, qi stagnation is blood stasis, etc. contribute to the aggravation of liver disease. For the static stage of cirrhosis, doctors recommend moderate outdoor physical exercise, which is beneficial to maintain a relaxed mood; patients with active cirrhosis should avoid overload physical activity.
