Fatty liver hepatosis: symptoms, treatment, diet, folk remedies

Fat hepatosis is a disease in which the normal cells of the liver are filled with fat metabolism products, as a result of which they die and are replaced by scar tissue.

The pathology develops mainly in people with alcoholism, as well as those who are obese.

The disease is reversible if measures are taken before the appearance of those complications that develop in the body due to the loss of liver function.

• systematic intake of alcohol( more than 20 grams for women, more than 30 for men);
  
• a diet rich in fats or easily assimilated carbohydrates;
  
• vegetarianism, when there is a deficiency of animal protein and a violation of carbohydrate metabolism;
  
• long-term administration of such drugs: "Cordarone", "Diltiazem", overdue "Tetracycline", "Tamoxifen", antiviral treatment for HIV, vitamin A overdose;

Symptoms of fatty liver hepatosis

The disease lasts for a long time without any clinical symptoms, being detected only on ultrasound, MRI or CT of the abdominal cavity, when determining elevated levels of ALT and AST in the blood, which were carried out for another reason.

The first symptoms of fatty liver hepatosis( usually they occur at grade 2 hepatosis) are usually:

• occasionally there is nausea;

• aversion to food;
  
• monotony of speech;
  
• ascites;
  
• general weakness;

In the development of fatty liver hepatosis, four degrees are distinguished:

1. 1 degree( stage): a cluster of small fat drops occurs only in individual cells;
   
2. 2 degree: fat droplets are large, accumulate in separate areas of the hepatic tissue;
   
3. 3 degree: large, medium and small droplets of fat accumulate inside a large number of hepatocyte cells;
   
4. 4 degree: large amounts of fat accumulate in a large number of liver cells, in addition, fat is deposited in the intercellular space, which leads to the formation of fatty liver cysts.

Treatment of fatty liver hepatic

To achieve a positive effect on the treatment of fatty liver hepatosis, it is necessary to follow a special diet, and take all measures to reduce your body weight to the level that is necessary.

The greater weight loss, on the contrary, can adversely affect the work of the liver, since all this lost weight has to be "processed" to it.

In the treatment of fatty liver hepatosis, such drugs are used:

1. 1) Based on essential phospholipids: Essentiale, Phosphogliv, Essliver;
   
2. 2) A group of amino acids: Glutargin, Gepa-Merz;
   
3. 3) Hepatoprotectors: "Heptral", which consists of ademetionine - a substance that is part of all tissues and body fluids and takes part in many metabolic processes of the body. It has antioxidant, regenerating, antifibrotic and biliary ducts expansive action;
   
4. 4) Based on plant components: LIV-52, Hofitol, Karsil;
   
5. 5) Improving viscous properties of blood: "Pentoxifylline", "Curantil", "Trental";
   
6. 6) Based on alpha-lipoic acid: "Berlition", "Dialipon";
   
7. 7) Taurine preparations providing membrane-stabilizing and antioxidant action of
   
8. 8) Selenium preparations;
   
9. 9) If there are no stones in the hepatic ducts, cholagogue preparations are prescribed: "Holosas", "Allochol";
   
10. 10) B-group vitamins( nicotinic acid, riboflavin, folic acid) to facilitate the removal of fats from the liver;
    
11. 11) Antioxidants: vitamins A and E.

If a person suffers from diabetes, he needs an endocrinologist's advice about the appointment of tableted hypoglycemic drugs( from biguanide or thiazolidinedione groups) or insulin.

If a high level of triglycerides is found in the blood, drugs from the statin group( Lovastatin, Atorvastatin) or fibrates( Clofibrate, Bezafibrate) are prescribed.

In addition to drug treatment of liver hepatosis, another therapy is prescribed:

• phytotherapy;
  
• intravenous laser irradiation of blood;
  
• ultrasound treatment;
  
• hirudotherapy.
