A man in Shijiazhuang did not want to eat, and his bloating worsened

Hepatitis is detected at the hospital

Six months ago, Mr.
Zhao (pseudonym) from Shijiazhuang was diagnosed with "chronic superficial gastritis" because of loss of appetite, decreased diet and abdominal distension, but after oral gastric medicine, his symptoms did not improve
.
Recently, he came to Shijiazhuang Fifth Hospital for treatment
because he did not want to eat, his bloating worsened, and he had hiccups.
Through a series of examinations, it was found that the patient not only suffered from "chronic superficial gastritis", but also had moderate damage to liver function, and finally the doctor diagnosed it as: chronic active hepatitis B, chronic superficial gastritis
.
Subsequently, through comprehensive treatment such as hepatoprotective enzyme antiviral and gastric mucosa, Mr.
Zhao's symptoms were significantly alleviated, and he was discharged from the hospital
after 15 days of treatment.

Kang Haiyan introduced that Mr.
Zhao is a very typical case of chronic hepatitis, which is very common
in clinical practice.
Generally speaking, when patients have digestive tract symptoms such as "loss of appetite and nausea", they will be habitually considered as "stomach disease", in fact, in addition to the well-known symptoms of fatigue, yellow urine and other symptoms, more than 50% of patients will also be accompanied by digestive tract symptoms
.

These factors can lead to liver damage

Nearly one-third of people with chronic hepatitis are infected
with hepatitis viruses (hepatitis A, B, C, etc.
).
The second is liver damage caused by drugs and chemical poisons, common anti-tuberculosis drugs, traditional Chinese medicine, chemotherapy drugs, etc
.
In addition, due to changes in people's eating habits, liver damage caused by drinking and high-fat diets is increasing
year by year.
In addition, there are some systemic diseases, such as autoimmune diseases, tumors, etc.
can also cause liver damage
.

These symptoms warrant vigilance

In addition to abdominal distension, liver pain and other symptoms, the clinical manifestations of chronic liver disease include fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, etc.
, and some patients may be accompanied by typical signs
of liver disease such as chronic liver disease face, liver palm, spider angiomata and so on.

Laboratory tests can show abnormal liver function, positive viral markers, etc.
, and abdominal ultrasound examination will generally appear liver echo enhancement and thickening
.

However, some patients have no obvious clinical symptoms, only lesions
such as necrosis and inflammation of liver tissue.
The course of chronic hepatitis fluctuates or progresses, and without appropriate treatment, some patients can progress to cirrhosis and liver cancer
.

Doctor's recommendation: the appearance of digestive tract symptoms

The liver is examined at the same time

Kang Haiyan suggested that when digestive tract symptoms appear, we may wish to check liver function when performing gastrointestinal disease examination, and if liver function is abnormal, we should further look for the cause and strive to achieve early detection and early treatment, so as not to delay the condition
.
In addition, chronic hepatitis is not terrible, it is preventable and treatable, and targeted treatment
can be taken on the basis of hepatoprotective enzymes.

These common liver diseases are something to be aware of

It's about your health
