Primary biliary cirrhosis VI

Primary biliary cirrhosis, sometimes called PBC, is a disease in which the bile ducts in the liver are slowly damaged. Bile is a fluid produced by the liver that is important for food digestion and helps remove aging red blood cells, cholesterol and toxins from the body. As in primary biliary cirrhosis, when the bile ducts are damaged, harmful substances accumulate in the liver, sometimes leading to irreversible scarring of the liver tissue (cirrhosis). Lifestyle and Home Remedies: Paying attention to your whole body health can make you feel better and improve some of the symptoms of primary biliary cirrhosis: 1. Choose low-sodium foods. Choose low-sodium foods or foods that are naturally free of sodium because sodium is an important contributor to tissue edema and fluid buildup in the abdominal cavity (ascites). 2, try to exercise every day, exercise can reduce the risk of bone loss. 3, avoid alcohol, alcohol is metabolized in the liver, and too much stress on liver metabolism can cause liver damage. In general, patients with primary biliary cirrhosis should avoid alcohol. Consult your doctor before starting new medications or dietary supplements. Because your liver is not working properly, it may be more sensitive to over-the-counter and prescription medications and certain dietary supplements, so you should consult your doctor before taking them. Coping and Support: Having a chronic liver disease that cannot be cured can be very frustrating. Fatigue, in particular, may have an impact on quality of life. Everyone needs to find their own way to cope with the stress of chronic illness. While eventually you’ll find what works for you, until then, you might consider trying:1. Learn about your disease: Learn as much as you can about primary biliary cirrhosis; the more you know about your condition, the better you’ll be able to take an active role in your own treatment. In addition to seeing your doctor, you can look for information at your local library or the official website of a reputable organization such as the American Liver Foundation. 2. Spend more time on your own treatment: A healthy diet, exercise and enough rest can help you feel better, so if you need more rest, plan ahead for the time. 3. Seek help: If your friends or family want to help you, then accept their kindness and let everyone know how they can help you best. Primary biliary cirrhosis can be exhausting, so if someone is willing to help you with essentials, laundry, or cooking, then accept that help. 4. Seek support: Good relationships are important for you to maintain a positive attitude. If friends or family don’t understand your disease, you can get help from a patient support group.
