What are the main causes of liver inflammation? obtained the test results today and the doctor says I have a slight inflammation of the liver.
Inflammation of the liver in other words named as hepatitis. It is characterized by the destruction of a number of liver cells and the presence of inflammatory cells in the liver tissue.
Hepatitis can be caused by diseases that attack the liver cells. It can also occur as a result of a disease like mononucleosis. Hepatitis can be divided into two subgroups according to duration:
Acute Hepatitis-a number of possible causes.
Infectious-viral hepatitis such as hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, hepatitis D and hepatitis E.
-Other viral diseases such as mononucleosis and cytomegalovirus.
serious bacterial infections-.
Infections-amoebic.
Health Products, for example, paracetamol poisoning and halothane (anesthetic).
-Toxins: alcohol and fungal toxins, eg, fungus poisoning.
How do you get hepatitis -
A person can develop hepatitis if they contract a virus that can cause liver inflammation, or following exposure to substances that can cause hepatitis - alcohol, toxins and fungi certain medications.
There are two ways of medications can lead to hepatitis: it can either occur as a result of poisoning by a drug overdose medicine (eg paracetamol), or it may occur as a result of an abnormal reaction of the liver normal dose (eg halothane, anesthesia). Fortunately, this type of hepatitis is rare .-
inflammation of the liver is in fact the definition of clinical hepatitis. Getting drunk, but should be the most common cause. Alcohol is metabolized in the liver up. Did not your doctor say anything about what it means to your test? If not, ask him!
You should ask your doctor if it is your body. You have the right to know what happens with your liver. There are many causes that could cause a liver to inflame. There are things like drinking, drug use, even if your body has a lot of toxins and it is required to work overtime, if you have a blood disease, genetics, to name a few. But the best thing to do is talk with your doctor.
Hey, do not worry too much about the results, while keeping an eye on yourself. I often inflammation of the liver (6 blood tests over a period of 3 years, 4 have shown that up inflammation). I went for a liver scan and everything was fine.
The main cause of the inflammation tends to be alcohol, and followed closely by the drug.
I do not drink alcohol either, though, I tend to take many medications. I guess at this.
So ... If you drink, or take too much prescription and / or recreational drugs, then he will put a strain on your liver and could one day cause psoriasis, but if you're a moderate user, then you don ' not have to worry about anything?
Good Luck xx
