Improving lifestyle can prevent liver diseases,,,
Jaipur, September 23, 2021. (nick therapy) max super specialty hospital, Saket today organized a public awareness session in an effort to raise awareness about the increasing cases of liver diseases and the side effects of fatty liver.
the session was held at max hospital Saket under the chairmanship of dr. Sanjeev Saigal, chief director and head, hepatology and liver transplant medicine. he expressed concern about the changing lifestyle of the people and how it leads to liver disorders. the session also highlighted the increasing number of cases of liver diseases and highlighted the importance of early screening to prevent the development of liver fibrosis or liver cirrhosis.
DR. SANJEEV SAIGAL SAID, "THE QUALITY OF LIFE HAS CHANGED DRASTICALLY OVER THE LAST TWO DECADES, BUT SOME LIFESTYLE HEALTH PROBLEMS HAVE ALSO STARTED INCREASING DUE TO ECONOMIC GROWTH. LIFESTYLE CHANGES, OBESITY AND INCREASING DIABETES CASES HAVE LED TO A 'LIFESTYLE HEALTH CRISIS'. PASSIVE LIFESTYLE AND HIGH ALCOHOL INTAKE ALSO HAVE A DIRECT IMPACT ON LIVER DISEASES. ALTHOUGH IT IS COMMON FOR CERTAIN AMOUNTS OF FAT TO ACCUMULATE IN CELLS, LIVER IS CONSIDERED FATTY IF IT EXCEEDS 5 PER CENT. EXCESSIVE CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL INCREASES FATTY LIVER WHILE IT ALSO DEVELOPS IN SOME PEOPLE WHO DO NOT CONSUME ALCOHOL. WITH NO SYMPTOMS IN PLACE, THE FATTY LIVER IS NOT DETECTED FOR DECADES. BUT WHEN THE LIVER BEGINS TO BECOME INFLAMED, THERE IS A PROBLEM CALLED STATOHEPATITIS. THERE ARE NO SYMPTOMS IN THE EARLY STAGES OF THE FATTY LIVER. BUT WHEN THE DISEASE BEGINS TO INCREASE, THE PATIENT BEGINS TO FEEL TIRED, WEAK, HUNGRY, NAUSEA, MILD PAIN OR HEAVINESS IN THE UPPER ABDOMEN. EXAMINATION REVEALS AN INCREASE IN LIVER ENZYMES, DYSLIPIDEMIA, INSULIN LEVELS, ETC. ULTRASOUND AND FIBROSCAN ARE ALSO PERFORMED TO IDENTIFY FATTY LIVER.
DR. SANJEEV SAIGAL SAID, "IF THE FATTY LIVER IS NOT TREATED, IT REACHES THE STAGE OF LIVER FIBROSIS AND THEN CIRRHOSIS OR LIVER CANCER IN MANY CASES. IN THE ADVANCED STAGE, SOME PATIENTS HAVE LIVER FAILURE WHILE MANY PATIENTS ARE EXPOSED TO LIVER TRANSPLANTS. THE PATIENT GETS RID OF THE DISEASE COMPLETELY BY IDENTIFYING THIS PROBLEM AT AN UNCHARACTERIZED STAGE.
- but bringing patients suffering from the undiagnosed fatty liver for medical examination is a big challenge. therefore, it is our endeavor to create awareness among more and more people about liver diseases and provide them with top-level medical facilities. from such awareness sessions, we hope that a lot of people can be protected from these conditions and benefit ed to lead a healthy life.
