Hepatitis Toxic
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.
One of the many functions of a liver is to remove and break down most drugs and chemicals from your bloodstream. Breaking down toxins creates byproducts that can damage the liver, constant exposure to toxic substances can cause serious and irreversible harm.
Toxic hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver due to certain elements to which you’re exposed.
The condition can develop within hours or days of exposure to a toxin, but in certain cases, it may take months before signs and symptoms appear.
Toxic hepatitis can permanently lead to irreversible scarring of liver tissue (cirrhosis) or even liver failure, which can be life-threatening.
