The Older You Get, The Harder Your Liver Becomes? Prevention Of Liver Cirrhosis Is Urgent

Cirrhosis is the result of one or more causes of long-term recurrent attacks, resulting in diffuse liver damage or extensive liver parenchymal changes, and the continuous development of necrosis. With regard to cirrhosis of the elderly, according to Japanese data, the mortality of cirrhosis of the elderly decreases with age. However, in recent years, the incidence rate of cirrhosis of the elderly has become higher and higher, and the causes of cirrhosis of the elderly are also diverse. At present, the following are proposed.

(1) Drug poisoning: Elderly people suffer from multiple systemic diseases, and long-term use of multiple drugs has a high chance of causing liver damage and leading to cirrhosis.

(2) Circulatory disorders: Elderly people often suffer from coronary heart disease, pulmonary heart disease, and chronic heart failure, causing long-term congestion, hypoxia, and necrosis of the liver, ultimately leading to cirrhosis.

(3) Viral hepatitis: Although the incidence rate of viral hepatitis in the elderly is low, they are infected with hepatitis, especially hepatitis B, in early age or young adults, and may develop cirrhosis in old age.

(4) Alcoholism: People who drink alcohol for a long time or excessively, due to the direct damage of alcohol to the liver, coupled with malnutrition caused by long-term drinking, reduce the liver's ability to detoxify toxic substances, and are prone to developing cirrhosis. This disease is common in Western countries.

(5) Schistosomiasis: It is common in rural areas of southern China where schistosomiasis is prevalent. It is mainly due to the stimulation of blood vessels in the liver after the incubation and deposition of schistosomiasis, causing fibrosis and proliferation or the hatching of worms into small blood vessels in the portal vein branches of the liver, causing obstruction and leading to portal hypertension and cirrhosis.

(6) Bile stasis: Persistent intrahepatic bile stasis caused by drugs, bile duct hepatitis, or obstruction of bile discharge due to compression of bile ducts by gallstones, parasites, tumors, etc. High concentrations of bile and bile pigment can damage liver cells, cause liver necrosis, and finally form cirrhosis.

(7) Liver aging: As the liver ages, the weight of the liver gradually decreases. Under the age of 70, the liver volume decreases significantly, and the appearance is wavy and irregular. Due to the reduction of liver parenchymal cells and low liver reserve capacity, elderly people aged 70-90 may develop cirrhosis without other reasons.

Emotional stability: The relationship between the liver and mental emotions is very close. Emotional distress, mental depression, and irritability can all affect liver function and accelerate the development of the disease. Establishing a strong will, having a cheerful mood, boosting one's spirits, and eliminating mental burdens will be beneficial for improving one's condition.

Dietary care: Eating Cistanche deserticola, the functional component of Cistanche deserticola, has the effect of reducing cell apoptosis and necrosis, increasing cell survival rate, and protecting primary liver cells.

Total glycosides of Cistanche deserticola can inhibit liver cancer cells at the early stage of liver cancer.

To sum up, total glycosides of Cistanche deserticola inhibit the proliferation and growth of HepG2 cells by influencing cell cycle progression, destroying cell structure, promoting cell apoptosis, and limiting cell migration.

Experimental studies have shown that various components of Cistanche deserticola can effectively regulate and replenish the renal glands, with sufficient renal power that directly enhances the function of the body's energy factory mitochondria, continuously generating energy, keeping the body in an excited state, improving its cold tolerance, and reducing fatigue.

Quitting smoking and avoiding alcohol: Alcohol can help stimulate fire and blood, and long-term drinking, especially strong alcohol, can lead to alcoholic liver cirrhosis. Therefore, drinking alcohol can worsen the condition of liver cirrhosis patients and easily cause bleeding. Long-term smoking is not conducive to the stability and recovery of liver disease, can accelerate the process of liver cirrhosis, and has the risk of promoting liver cancer. It is recommended to choose the Guanhua Cistanche product - Dichen brand Kangka tablets, which can tonify both the liver and kidney, and help the liver detoxify.

Dynamic and static combination: When the compensatory function of liver cirrhosis decreases and ascites or infection occurs, absolute bed rest should be taken. During the period of abundant compensatory function and stable illness, one can do some relaxed work or appropriate activities, and engage in beneficial physical exercise, such as walking, doing health exercises, Tai Chi, Qigong, etc. The amount of activity is measured by not feeling tired.
