Cirrhosis of the Liver


By Armen Siran at 2010-11-12 00:45:05
Cirrhosis is a serious medical condition which is used to refer to a group of chronic diseases in the liver due to which the normal liver cells are damaged and simultaneously the amount of normal liver tissue decreases in quantity to be replaced by scar tissues. The symptoms through which this disorder is manifested are known as cirrhosis symptoms and although they may be very few at first, their presence increases with the increasing severity of the disease.

In time, jaundice a yellowing of your skin and the whites of your eyes and intense itching can develop. But other factors including damaged bile ducts, immune system problems and prolonged exposure to certain environmental toxins can cause liver scarring, too. Specific treatment for cirrhosis depends on the underlying cause, but anyone with cirrhosis must avoid alcohol and other substances that harm the liver.

Your legs or stomach get swollen. When the liver damage becomes more severe, fluid starts to build up in the legs (called edema) or the stomach (ascites). If you're feeling like your swelling up and there's no explanation for it, then once again, it's a good idea to seek medical attention.

Jaundice is one possible symptom. This condition is also known as icterus. In it, the skin gets a yellowish discoloration. It is also possible for the membranes over the whites of the eyes to become yellowed, as well as other mucous membranes in the patient. Raised bilirubin levels in the patient's blood lead to this discoloration. Those elevated levels are also known as a condition called hyperbilirubinemia.

Symptoms of cirrhosis of the liver can vary in different cases of the condition. One potential issue is ascites, which is a problem where fluid accumulates in the peritoneal cavity. Additionally, jaundice can occur. This is a yellowish discoloration that can affect the skin, membranes in the eyes, and other mucous membranes. A general feeling of fatigue is also possible.

Some of the functions of your liver include helping your blood to transport oxygen to your cells as well as helping it to clot, which prevents you from bleeding to death in the event you get a cut. Your liver also helps with the break down of fats and the production of cholesterol that your body needs. Your liver also acts like a filter removing toxins from your body. Your liver is your body's principal organ of detoxification so as long as your liver function is intact, your blood stream remains pure.

At the initial stage of your cirrhosis of liver, you might not get any signs and symptoms. But with your progression of disease, you can experience weakness or tiredness, appetite loss, weight loss, paleness of skin with nausea, loss of libido. Sometimes you start getting symptoms when the complications of cirrhosis start taking toll. You can get itching due to deposition of breakdown of bile products.

What exactly causes primary biliary cirrhosis is unknown; however, researchers and medical experts believe it is most likely associated with an autoimmune based condition in which the immunity of an individual malfunctions in such a way as it begins attacking the body's healthy tissues and the bile ducts in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis.

Other causes consist of chronic biliary obstruction, drugs, metabolic disorders, persistent congestive heart failure, and primary (autoimmune) biliary cirrhosis. Increased or altered synthesis of collagen along with other connective structure or basement membrane elements from the extracellular matrix is implicated within the improvement of hepatic fibrosis and therefore in the pathogenesis of cirrhosis.
