Hepatitis A
Liver is the largest solid meaty organ – weighs around 3 pounds, located on the upper right side of the belly.
The liver is a roughly triangular organ and has two large sections, called the right and the left lobes.
Liver performs over 500 essential functions such as;
- Produces most proteins needed by our bodies such bile, to digest fats.
- Helps fight infection by removing harmful pathogens.
- Helps blood circulation and filtration.
- Regulates blood clotting, glucose, cholesterol and hormones levels etc.
- Metabolism that is break down – nutrients from food to produce energy.
- Detoxification – Removes potentially toxic by-products of certain medications.
- Prevents shortage of nutrients by storing vitamins, amino acids and minerals etc.
The liver is a marvelously sophisticated chemical laboratory, capable of carrying out thousands of chemical transformations on which the body depends.
The liver produces important chemicals from scratch, modifies others to allow the body to use them better, and neutralizes an enormous range of toxins.
Alcohol is the most common chemical responsible for toxic damage to the liver, causing fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, and, potentially, cirrhosis of the liver.
Exposure to industrial chemicals may harm the liver. Many prescription medications may damage the liver as well, including cholesterol-lowering drugs in the statin family and high-dose niacin (also used to reduce cholesterol levels.) The over-the-counter drug acetaminophen (Tylenol) is highly toxic to the liver when taken to excess. Finally, numerous natural herbs and supplements contain chemicals that may cause or accelerate harm to the liver.
Chemicals aren’t the only source of harm to the liver. Viruses may infect it, causing viral hepatitis; hepatitis C, in particular, may become chronic and gradually destroy the liver. In addition, during pregnancy, the liver may become backed up with bile, a condition called cholestasis of pregnancy.
Hepatitis may indicate swelling, irritation and damage to the liver.
It is infection of the liver caused by Hepatitis ‘A’ virus and is commonly known as jaundice. Hepatitis A is the mildest form and seldom causes symptoms continuing longer than a couple of months.
Most of these infections occur in early life. Children are most commonly affected and conditions of overcrowding and poor sanitation facilitate the spread.
Hepatitis A is a highly contagious liver infection caused by the hepatitis A virus. The virus is one of several types of hepatitis viruses that cause liver inflammation and affect your liver’s ability to function.
When you first develop hepatitis, it is called acute hepatitis. Hepatitis can also become a long-term disease known as chronic hepatitis.
All forms of hepatitis cause jaundice, liver tenderness, and severe fatigue.
Chronic hepatitis consists of persistent liver infection and inflammation that lingers long after the primary symptoms of the disease have disappeared. Chronic hepatitis also appears to increase the risk of liver cancer.
