Abnormal liver function? ! Don’t ignore it, take it seriously!

When I was looking at the hot searches today, a piece of news caught my attention: When Xiao Yu, a 32-year-old young man from Hangzhou, was on a blind date with a girl from a family of traditional Chinese medicine, the girl’s father took the initiative to take his pulse and diagnose him. It turned out that he had problems with his liver. He then went to the hospital for a check-up and found that his liver function was abnormal.

Speaking of abnormal liver function, many people will see some signs during their annual physical examinations, but they think it is due to frequent drinking and do not take it seriously, thinking that they will recover after stopping drinking for a few days. This is not the case. You are totally wrong to think so.

There are three main reasons for abnormal liver function:

1. Abnormal liver function caused by alcoholic liver disease (long-term excessive drinking). When treating, we should not only pay attention to alcoholic liver disease, but also pay attention to and prevent the occurrence of other alcoholic liver diseases, such as alcoholic fatty liver disease, alcoholic liver fibrosis and alcoholic hepatitis, etc.;

2. Abnormal liver function caused by fatty liver. In the early stage of fatty liver, the symptoms of abnormal liver function are not very obvious and are likely to be ignored. However, if the patient misses the golden time for treatment due to his/her carelessness, the liver will develop into liver fibrosis as the disease continues to worsen. As the disease worsens, the treatment cycle will also be prolonged.

3. Viral hepatitis can also cause abnormal liver function. If it is detected, it should be treated systematically. Because if it is treated actively in the early stage, the condition can be stabilized quickly, but if it is not taken seriously, the consequences will not be so good.

So when you are sure that your liver function is abnormal, don't panic or ignore it. You need to take it seriously:

1. Make a comprehensive examination in time to find out the specific cause of the disease, and adopt different treatment methods according to the cause. What is needed is to try to keep a calm mind, because anger hurts the liver. People with abnormal liver function should keep a good mood to avoid aggravating the condition. Then you can choose to use antiviral, lipid-lowering, liver-protecting, jaundice-reducing and so on.

2. If the abnormal liver function is caused by bad habits such as drinking, staying up late, obesity, taking medicines, etc., you should adjust it according to the doctor's instructions in time, get more rest, change your lifestyle habits in advance, and do not delay treatment.

3. Do not take medicine blindly on your own. Not all liver function abnormalities require medication to be treated. You need to follow the doctor's instructions and make sure that the liver function abnormalities are not caused by strenuous exercise, poor sleep, or fatigue (these phenomena do not require medication). Only then can you take medicine as prescribed by the doctor and analyze the specific reasons.
