On the "Sağlam yaşamaq" program on Public Television, I talked about liver diseases, viral hepatitis, and the factors that negatively affect the function of this organ. There are various stress factors that affect the condition of the liver, and it is extremely important to pay attention to them.
Liver diseases and viral hepatitis
For example, if a doctor states during an ultrasound examination that the liver is fatty, this is already a stress factor for us, that is, obesity. Along with this, the presence of hepatitis B, C, or D in the blood also leads to serious complications. It is precisely these viruses that cause the most complications in the body, become chronic most often, and lead to cirrhosis. According to classification, viral hepatitis ranks first among the causes of cirrhosis.
Other harmful factors
There are other factors that affect the liver as well. For example, regular alcohol consumption by the patient or autoimmune processes taking place in the body are examples of this. I had patients who consulted me whose ALT and AST levels simply would not drop.
