LIVER WELLNESS KNOW YOUR LIVER AND KEEP IT HEALTHY

Dr.N.Murugan, MBBS, MRCPI, FRCP, (G) Fellow in Hepatology (USA) Hepatologist & Liver Transplant Physician

Liver disorders Some of the common disorders affecting the liver are Hepatitis A a common infection spreads through contaminated food or water, causing liver inflammation and jaundice. This is usually self limiting, and can last for up to 4 to 8 weeks. Hepatitis B and C which are spread through contaminated blood or body fluids, unprotected sex with an infected person, contaminated needles, razors and toothbrush shared with an infected person, or even tattooing or body piercing if the needle used is contaminated. These infections can be present silently for many years, and can cause scarring and damage to the liver. Cirrhosis is scarring of the liver, usually permanent, from many causes, and can lead to liver failure. Common causes in India are chronic Hepatitis B and C infections and alcohol abuse. Tumours benign and malignant (liver cancer). Metabolic disorders usually affect the newborn or children and young adults. Fatty liver disease a very common condition that is present especially in those who are obese or overweight, have diabetes or high levels of triglycerides (fat), or in those who abuse alcohol. In most cases this condition may cause no damage to the liver, but in some can progress to liver inflammation and scarring. It is increasing in incidence with changing lifestyles and dietary habits. Symptoms of liver disease Liver disease is mostly silent and is discovered many times by chance or only when there is advanced damage to the liver. Some of the symptoms are as follows: Jaundice yellow discoloration of the eyes and skin. It is important to note that jaundice is only a symptom and not a disease by itself, and can occur in many types of liver diseases Dark coloration of urine Pale stools, sometimes dark or bloody Fatigue, tiredness, nausea, loss of appetite Abdominal and leg swelling Confusion, forgetfulness, difficulty in sleeping Easy bruising and bleeding from small cuts and scrapes, or bleeding from the gums

Alcohol and the liver There are three kinds of liver diseases associated with alcohol fatty liver with liver enlargement, which will improve if you stop drinking alcoholic hepatitis, which is associated with fever and jaundice and if severe can lead to life-threatening complications cirrhosis, a serious condition which can lead to liver failure and associated complications. Between 10 to 20% of people who drink heavily will develop cirrhosis over a period of ten years or so Liver transplantation This is now the procedure of choice for patients with cirrhosis and liver failure. The diseased liver is removed and a whole liver from a cadaver donor (brain dead) or a portion of liver from a living related donor is then put in its place. This procedure is life saving for those with end stage liver disease who will otherwise die from liver failure. It can also be done for select patients with liver cancer and other liver disorders. Many hospitals in India now perform liver transplant successfully, and bring hope to thousands of patients dying every year from liver failure. Some facts and myths about the liver v Liver disease does not cause 'indigestion' (abdominal discomfort, gas & bloating, loose stools etc), which are usually due to a gastro-intestinal problems v All patients with liver disease or cirrhosis are not alcoholics; there are many other causes for cirrhosis of the liver ' v Jaundice' has many causes; hence it is important to investigate this thoroughly before planning appropriate treatment v There are many herbal remedies used to treat liver diseases; whilst these can be useful, it is important to know that some can actually harm the liver; it is important therefore to thoroughly investigate the cause of the liver disease before undergoing any treatment . Liver tonics do not guarantee any protection from developing liver diseases or its complications; only a proper lifestyle, screening and early treatment are of recommended benefit . Liver disease is silent in the majority and can only be detected by proper screening . The liver is the only organ in the body that can grow itself, hence a person can donate part of his liver for a transplant and his or her liver will grow back to its full size in a few months Ways to keep your liver healthy Eat well and stay healthy! A good, balanced and nutritious diet with plenty of

fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grain rice, bread and cereals, and less fried and fatty foods and reduced intake of carbs is healthy for the liver Watch your weight! Try to maintain a near ideal body weight as obesity can damage the liver. Exercise regularly! Regular exercise (at least three times a week) by itself reduces fat build up in the liver Drink healthy! Limit the amount of alcohol you drink and have alcohol free days every week; avoid heavy binge drinking. Avoid unnecessary medications! remember that most drugs pass through the liver, and some are harmful Limit toxin exposure! There is evidence that exposure to toxins from aerosols, harsh cleaners, and insecticide sprays, household and garden chemicals, can damage the liver. Use these products in well ventilated areas, and use gloves or masks as necessary Avoid self medication! High doses of over the counter medication like paracetomol, pain killers and some herbal products can harm the liver; excessive use of mineral or vitamin supplements should also be avoided Get tested for liver disease! Early screening can prevent the many complications of advanced liver disease, and greatly reduce the costs involved in managing such problems Screen and protect yourself from Hepatitis B and C; this is especially important for those who have had previous attacks of jaundice, previous blood transfusion or surgery, or health care workers. Remember! High risk practices like IV drug use and sharing of needles, having unprotected sex with multiple partners can lead to infection with Hepatitis B or C; insist on sterile instruments whilst shaving your head, or tattooing, ear or body piercing. Protect yourself and your family! Vaccines are now available against Hepatitis A and B. Have a healthy lifestyle! this can go a long way in keeping you and your liver healthy for a very long time!

LIVER TRANSPLANATION STATE OF THE ART

Dr.Anand K.Khakhar M.S.DNB. Fellow American Society of Transplant Surgeons (Canada, Pittsburgh ,Newyork) Consultant Transplant & Hepatobiliary-Pancreatic Surgeon Centre For Liver Disease and Transplantation

Fatty Liver There has been an alarming rise in the number of fatty livers being diagnosed. The rising incidence of diabetes, central obesity and elevated cholesterol (particularly triglycerides) is to be blamed. Reliable population based surveys put the figure at 9 19% overall and adult age groups respectively. This is alarming because these figures resemble those from developed western countries where cirrhosis due to fatty liver disease is the second most common reason for needing a liver transplant. What is fatty liver? Fatty liver is just what its name suggests: the build-up of excess fat in the liver cells. Normally your liver contains some fat, but if fat accounts for more than 10% of your liver's weight, then you have fatty liver and you may develop more serious complications. Fatty liver may cause no harm, but sometimes the excess fat leads to inflammation of the liver. This condition, called steatohepatitis, does cause liver damage. Sometimes, inflammation from a fatty liver is linked to alcohol abuse; this is known as alcoholic steatohepatitis. Otherwise the condition is called nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, or NASH. An inflamed liver may become scarred and hardened over time. This condition, called cirrhosis, is serious and often leads to liver failure requiring liver transplant. NASH is one of the top three leading causes of cirrhosis world-wide. What are the symptoms of fatty liver? A fatty liver produces no symptoms on its own, preventive health checks or medical tests done for other conditions reveal fatty liver. NASH can damage your liver silently for years or even decades. If the disease gets worse, you may experience fatigue, weight loss, abdominal discomfort, weakness and confusion. What causes fatty liver? Eating excess calories causes fat to build up in the liver. People with obesity, diabetes, high triglycerides, alcohol abuse, rapid weight loss and malnutrition may also lead to fatty liver. However, some people develop fatty liver even if they have none of these conditions so everyone should know about it. How is fatty liver diagnosed? Your doctor may see something unusual in your blood test or notice that your liver is slightly enlarged during a routine checkup. These could be signs of a fatty liver. To make sure you don't have another liver disease, your doctor may ask for more blood tests, an ultrasound, a CT scan may be sometimes needed. If other diseases are ruled out, you may be diagnosed with NASH. Although rarely needed, a liver biopsy is the only way to diagnose NASH for sure. What new treatments for fatty liver are being studied? Fatty liver is currently the focus of intense research to provide us with better tools for treatment in the future. Scientists are studying whether various medications can help reduce
8

the inflammation on your liver, including new diabetes medications that may help you even if you don't have diabetes. Fatty Liver can progress to Cirrhosis of liver. How is fatty liver treated? You can take some steps that may help prevent or reverse some of the damage. If you have fatty liver, particularly if you have NASH, you should: Lose weight safely! That usually means losing no more than one or two pounds a week. Lower your triglycerides through diet, medication or both Avoid alcohol Control your diabetes, if you have it Eat a balanced, healthy diet Increase your physical activity Get regular checkups from a doctor who specializes in liver care If I've been diagnosed with fatty liver, what questions should I ask my doctor? What is the likely cause of my fatty liver? Do I have NASH? If not, how likely am I to develop NASH? Do I have cirrhosis? If not, how likely am I to develop cirrhosis? Do I need to lose weight? How can I do so safely? Should I be taking any medication to control my triglyceride levels? What medications or other substances should I avoid to protect my liver? Who is at risk for fatty liver? Most (but not all) fatty liver patients are middle-aged and overweight. The risk factors most commonly linked to fatty liver disease are: Overweight (body mass index of 25-30) Obesity (body mass index above 30) Diabetes Elevated triglyceride levels Abdominal surgery: Operations to remove large sections of the small intestine, treat obesity (stomach or small intestinal bypass) often lead to rapid weight loss. This may increase your risk of fatty liver disease. Medications: particularly oral steroids eg. Prednisone, synthetic estrogens for menopause, certain medications for heart arrhythmias eg. amiodarone, tamoxifen (for breast cancer) and methotrexate (a medication for rheumatoid arthritis). Certain other conditions: like Wilson's disease, Glycogen storage diseases, Abetalipoproteinemia, Galactosemia etc. What is the best way to prevent fatty liver? The best way to reduce your risk of developing fatty liver is to maintain a healthy weight and normal triglyceride levels. You should also avoid excess alcohol and other substances that could harm your liver.

Thought by The Buddha

Once Buddha was travelling with a few of his followers. While they were passing a lake, Buddha told one of his disciples, "I am thirsty. Do get me some water from the lake." The disciple walked up to the lake. At that moment, a bullock cart started crossing through the lake. As a result, the water became very muddy and turbid. The disciple thought, "How can I give this muddy water to Buddha to drink?" So he came back and told Buddha, "The water in there is very muddy. I don't think it is fit to drink." After about half an hour, again Buddha asked the same disciple to go back to the lake. The disciple went back, and found that the water was still muddy. He returned and informed Buddha about the same. After sometime, again Buddha asked the same disciple to go back. This time, the disciple found the mud had settled down, and the water was clean and clear. So he collected some water in a pot and brought it to Buddha. Buddha looked at the water, and then he looked up at the disciple and said," See what you did to make the water clean. You let it be, and the mud settled down on its own -- and you have clear water. Your mind is like that too ! When it is disturbed, just let it be. Give it a little time. It will settle down on its own. You don't have to put in any effort to calm it down. It will happen. It is effortless." Having 'Peace of Mind' is not a strenuous job; it is an effortless process!
