The dangers and causes of fatty liver
Cause
1. Metabolic disorders. Lead to excessive accumulation of fat in the liver. For example, there is obesity, there is elevated blood sugar, these metabolic disorders, leading to excessive levels of lipids in the liver.
2、Malnutrition or enzyme protein or enzyme deficiency. This can also lead to abnormalities in lipid metabolism pathways and lipid deposition in the liver, which can cause fatty liver.
3、Long-term alcoholism. After alcohol enters the human body, it is mainly decomposed and metabolised in the liver, and the toxicity of alcohol to liver cells makes the decomposition and metabolism of fatty acids in liver cells impaired, which causes fat deposition in the liver and results in fatty liver. The more alcohol you drink, the more serious fatty liver is.
4、Hepatic fat synthesis hyperactivity. Diabetes, hepatitis, hyperthyroidism, severe anaemia and other chronic diseases diabetic patients due to insulin deficiency, the body's use of glucose is reduced, in order to replenish energy, the body's fatty acids increased significantly, these fatty acids can not be fully utilized, it will make the liver fat synthesis hyperactivity, thus causing fatty liver.
Hazards:
1. Liver steatosis. Combination of inflammation and hepatocellular damage with or without fibrosis, which may progress to cirrhosis, liver failure and hepatocellular carcinoma.
2.Severe steatohepatitis. Jaundice, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms may appear. Some patients may have enlarged liver.
3.Cirrhosis transformed into liver cancer. If fatty liver condition is not controlled, resulting in liver fibrosis, cirrhosis will be formed, which will increase the risk of liver cancer.
4.Triggering hepatic encephalopathy. After liver function is seriously damaged, if there is loss of compensation of cirrhosis, the decomposition ability of proteins is greatly reduced, and too many proteins in the body are free, which will cause cerebral oedema and trigger hepatic encephalopathy.
5. digestive system abnormalities. Lipid metabolism is abnormal, causing steatorrhea and so on.
