What are the causes of liver damage?

The liver is one of the most important organs in the human body because its main function is to process toxins and other waste products in the body, breaking them down and excreting them out of the body. Therefore, problems with liver function will cause great harm to health. Liver function is an important indicator in clinical tests and has a strong indication of diseases in the body. Let’s take a look at the causes of liver damage.

Symptoms of liver damage are relatively common, especially when the immune system of hepatitis B patients recognizes the hepatitis B virus and clears it, it will cause damage to the liver. This indicates that the patient's condition is already very serious and the patient needs timely antiviral treatment. Otherwise, missing the best time for treatment will bring great difficulties to the treatment.

The causes of liver damage are:

1. Liver damage caused by non-pathological reasons

1. If the patient does not pay attention to maintenance in daily life, such as improper diet, frequent drinking, lack of sleep, overwork, staying up late, etc., it may cause liver damage. Therefore, patients need to develop good living habits, not smoke or drink, eat a healthy diet, get more rest, avoid overwork and staying up late, and participate in appropriate exercise to enhance the body's immunity and promote the repair and regeneration of liver cells.

2. Drug-induced hepatitis and liver function damage: We are now using more and more types of drugs, and our dependence on drugs is becoming more and more serious, especially the problem of drug abuse is becoming more and more serious. Drug poisoning, allergies, hypoxia and other non-viral infections have led to a gradual increase in the incidence of drug-induced hepatitis and liver function damage.

3. Violent liver injury: injury to the liver caused by external objects or personal collision.

2. Pathological liver damage is mainly caused by five types of viral hepatitis: hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. For example, hepatocellular necrosis, liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, etc., causing abnormal liver function. There is also alcoholic hepatitis and liver damage: Alcohol can cause serious damage to liver function. The consequences of liver damage include alcoholic hepatitis, alcoholic fatty liver, and alcoholic liver fibrosis.
