Things To Know About Liver Diseases by FRANELCLINIC: 10:36am On Nov 01, 2022
Hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, fatty liver disease, liver cirrhosis, liver cancer; liver diseases are a very common pathology affecting more and more people. And the reason boils down to the role the liver plays in the body.

The liver, along with the kidneys, play an important role in the metabolism of foods, drugs, and the liver helps excrete certain hormones such as estrogen. For this reason, a woman with a serious liver disease is at risk of fibrocystic breasts and fibroids and endometrial hyperplasia, all symptoms of estrogen accumulation—since the liver, which should metabolise and excrete them, is diseased.

The liver also produce certain protein that prevent the formation of edema, and other proteins that help blood clot properly. It also produces something called angiotensinogen which plays a role too in reducing blood pressure. So you can see now that those with liver problem might have edema, easy bruising, light bruises with no apparent cause (often attributed to witchcraft—choose knowledge and not superstition, please) and even BP issues.

Acetaminophen (paracetamol, panadol, Tylenol, etc) overdose can also cause liver diseases, as can eating fatty foods such as red meats, drinking lots of alcoholic beverages, and smoking.

Whatever we take into our body goes first to the liver for metabolism (called the first-pass effect) before going to the rest of the body, and unless it goes to the liver, nothing goes anywhere. That is why it is so easy to harm the liver.

Malaria, too, also has its own harmful effects on the liver, since the liver is where plasmodium (malaria causing agent) resides until the time comes for it to act.


If liver disease is left untreated in it's initial stages, it might cause the formation of scar tissue, a process called fibrosis. If this keeps happening, it becomes a cirrhotic liver, called liver cirrhosis, where as good as all the functioning tissue has been replaced by scar tissue.

There is a lot to be said about this subject, but nobody needs to be alarmed.
Liver diseases have been reversed with phytomedicine, and phytomedicine will continue to be an effective bulwark against progression of liver damage.
