Decreased liver function can result in jaundice, ascites, liver palms, spider nevi and loss of appetite, weakness and drowsiness.
The liver plays a role in the synthesis and metabolism of substances, secretion of bile, and detoxification. When hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer cause decreased liver function, these roles are diminished and the corresponding clinical symptoms are manifested.
The liver is involved in the metabolism of proteins, fats, and sugars, all three of which are functional substances that play a vital role in the body. When protein metabolism is abnormal, plasma albumin decreases and plasma osmolality decreases, which can eventually lead to pleural fluid and ascites, causing respiratory distress and abdominal distension. Weakness, drowsiness, when mobilized fat, protein will make a person’s body shape thin, so patients with abnormal liver function should pay attention to strengthen nutrition high, eat more eggs, meat, etc.
Patients with decompensated liver function usually have generalized jaundice, which develops because of abnormal bilirubin metabolism due to abnormal liver function.
Spider nevus and liver palm are common characteristic manifestations of hypoplasia, and patients should pay attention when these symptoms occur and improve the relevant tests to identify and diagnose the cause of hypoplasia, so that early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment can be achieved.
