It seems that liver disease is clearly associated with alcoholism. However, the causes of liver problems may be completely different, because the liver begins to fail when the body gets too much harmful substances that must be removed by this organ.
Liver cirrhosis is the result of many years of unhealthy lifestyle. Among the elements of unhealthy lifestyle there is, among others, a bad diet containing the following risks: alcohol, drugs, synthetic additives, fried foods and unnatural or heavily processed food.
Symptoms of liver malfunction.
Some of the symptoms of liver malfunction do not appear to be related to this organ at all. The most common symptoms that can result from liver disease are:
Chronic fatigue or sudden changes in mood.
Lack of willingness to eat and problems with the digestive system (eg abdominal pain, vomiting).
Urine with a dark color.
Smoly stool.
Skin problems, including itching and susceptibility to bruising.
Swelling in the legs.
Symptoms of jaundice, including skin color and the color of the whites of the eyes.
Cirrhosis is a very serious disease, which is the result of many years of exposure of this organ to too intensive functioning. The approximate time of life of patients after diagnosing advanced cirrhosis is about two years. Earlier stages of a diseased liver may cause delicate ailments that are often ignored. Over time, scars develop in the liver tissue, which eventually can lead to complete liver failure and death. Cirrhosis is associated with many complications: portal hypertension, peritonitis, varicose veins, metabolic bone diseases, gallstones, insulin resistance, weakened immune systems, kidney failure, lung failure and liver cancer.
