What causes diffuse liver damage?

The causes of diffuse liver damage require special attention and understanding. For example, some common viral infections, non-violent causes, and the effects of chemical drugs can have an impact on it, causing many functions of the human body to not function normally.

1. Mainly liver diseases such as hepatitis B, hepatitis A, hepatitis C, acute and chronic hepatitis , icteric hepatitis, fatty liver, alcoholic liver, etc. Because these diseases can cause hepatic stellate cells to produce a large amount of collagen that is deposited between liver cells, causing varying degrees of damage to the liver.

2. Diffuse liver injury is caused by long-term liver damage due to viruses , other non-violent reasons or the effects of chemical drugs, which causes liver fibrosis. If not treated in time, it will worsen into cirrhosis. It may also be accompanied by symptoms such as portal hypertension and pain in the liver area, which seriously affect the normal operation of many functions of the human body.

3. Clinically, diffuse liver damage is also called diffuse liver damage. It refers to the discovery of diffuse degeneration and necrosis of liver cells during B-ultrasound or other imaging examination of the liver. If the disease continues to develop, fibrous tissue hyperplasia and nodular regeneration of liver cells will occur. These three changes occur repeatedly and alternately, resulting in the gradual reconstruction of the liver lobule structure and blood circulation pathways, causing the liver to deform and harden, leading to cirrhosis. Even various diseases such as portal hypertension may occur.

4. Diffuse liver damage is common in patients with viral hepatitis . If left untreated and continued to develop, the virus will continue to stimulate the immune system, eventually causing diffuse degeneration and necrosis of liver cells, leading to cirrhosis. Therefore, patients with diffuse liver damage should be careful to prevent the occurrence of cirrhosis. Patients with Hepatitis B virus (HBV) should be especially careful. Regarding the question of whether patients with Hepatitis B virus (HBV) who have normal liver function need treatment, many people, even doctors, believe that no treatment is needed. However, clinical findings have shown that patients with hepatitis B virus positive who have normal liver function tests, liver damage shown by B-ultrasound, and are positive for hepatitis B virus also need interferon or nucleoside antiviral treatment.
