Problems with the body organs are most likely to be noticed as pain, but the liver is very special in that it does not distribute pain-sensitive nerves, so that liver lesions do not normally cause pain and are difficult for us to detect.
At the same time, liver disease is a disease that cannot be delayed. It deteriorates rapidly, and many patients fail to detect liver lesions in time, which causes liver disease to drag on and on until it deteriorates into cancer.
In fact, many experts in the field of liver disease have called for “prevention is better than cure”, and early detection is especially important for liver disease.
Expert advice: 4 abnormalities in the morning, check the liver as soon as possible!
1, morning weakness
After a night of “rest”, the morning is when we are most energetic. Long-term morning weakness and fatigue are typical symptoms of liver disease. Liver disease will lead to a rise in the body’s transaminase content, cholinesterase concentration will be diluted, at this time, the nerve and muscle binding ability will be affected, will cause weakness, fatigue.
2、Yellowing of urine
After a night of metabolism, go to the toilet in the morning, urine can help the body to discharge many metabolic toxins. Under normal circumstances, the urine is colorless or light yellow clear liquid. However, prolonged thick yellow urine is a symptom of jaundice, a typical external manifestation of liver disease, which is caused by excessive bilirubin in the urine.
Bilirubin is a yellow neurotoxin in the body, and its metabolism and transformation in the body require the participation of the liver, and the most common abnormality of a poor liver is elevated bilirubin in the body. When bilirubin accumulates in the body to a certain amount, it will be carried out of the body partly by the urine, which causes more bilirubin in the urine, which in turn causes thick yellow urine.
3、Gum bleeding
The liver is an important organ in maintaining the balance of clotting and anticoagulation in our body. Most of the clotting factors are synthesized in the liver, and with liver disease, the ability to synthesize them will deteriorate, resulting in a decrease in the amount of clotting factors.
When clotting factors in the body drop to a certain level, patients will have a tendency to bleed more often, most commonly in the morning with frequent gum bleeding. As liver disease progresses, nosebleeds, bleeding hemorrhoids and even gastrointestinal bleeding may also occur.
4、Bad breath
Bad breath is undoubtedly a major “stumbling block” on the social road, causing bad breath for many reasons, in which liver disease caused by bad breath is the most special. Bad liver will affect the metabolism of methionine, its digestion process will generate a large number of methyl mercaptan and ammonia.
They cannot be metabolized or excreted in time, so they accumulate in the body and are partially carried out by breathing, resulting in a special bad breath: a smell similar to bad eggs mixed with rotten fruit, also known as “liver odor”. At night, when the liver metabolizes most efficiently, if the liver is diseased, bad breath is also most noticeable in the morning.
