These are the main organs that fail to function when you suffer from most chronic <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">diseases towards the terminal stages. Then, you call it organ failure <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">The liver is the largest organ in the human body. It increases with age until about 15 years of age.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">The size depends on the age, sex, body size and shape. The mean liver size is 7 cm for women and <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">10.5 cm for men. The liver weighs from 1200 to 1400 g in the adult woman and 1400 to 1500 h in the <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">adult man.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">Before we discuss how your liver can fail in its functions, lets talk about what the liver does for you.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">No doubt, liver is a factory or a work horse you never give the care and the respect it deserves. It <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">does not rest right through your life but works day and night for you, just like your heart, kidneys, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">among others.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">The main functions of the liver are:<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">The liver breaks down your food for you to provide energy. In other words, it metabolizes proteins,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">carbohydrates, and fats.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">It stores glycogen, vitamins, and other substances.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">Synthesizes blood clotting factors.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">Fights and eliminates infections,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">Prevent toxic chemicals entering your body.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">Regulates blood volume and destroys old red blood cells.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">Makes bile which helps carry away waste and breakdown of fats in the small gut.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">Makes certain proteins for blood plasma. Makes cholesterol and special proteins to help carry fats <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">through the body called <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">lipoproteins.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">Let us talk about the bile that your liver producers.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">The liver makes bile. It is a digestive juice which helps to absorb fat, including recycled cholesterol,<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">into the blood stream.<\/span><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5123580823957590\" data-ad-slot=\"7875984934\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><!--more--><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/U10A9rXjzxg<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">Website:<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">www.Doctorharold.com<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">Bile that is released from the liver is stored in the gall bladder, and when you eat fatty foods, it is <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">released from the gall bladder, enters through the bile duct into the small bowel.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">Bile breaks down dietary fats into fatty acids and is absorbed into your body.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">Fats in your meal are broken down in the mouth through lipase in your mouth called lingula lipase.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">Lipase from the pancreas and bile from the liver enables the breakdown of fats into fatty acids.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">Let us talk about the dietary proteins and how the liver uses it <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">Amino acids formed from dietary proteins in the gut, are absorbed and transported into the liver in <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">the portal veins. They are taken by the hepatocytes -i.e. hepatic cells.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">The liver is composed full of hepatic cells. You may call them the machinery in the factory working <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">day and night.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">The liver makes proteins out of the amino acids, derived from the dietary protein breakdown in the <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">gut, and the excess is converted or broken down to produce glucose.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">So, eating too much of proteins in your diet also produce glucose in the liver and stored as glycogen.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">Formation of glucose in the liver is called Gluconeogenesis.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">The carbs you eat are broken down into monosaccharide glucose in your small gut. They are<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">absorbed through the portal veins and transported to the liver.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">Excess glucose in the blood stream is taken up by the liver and stored as glycogen. Glycogen is <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">mainly stored in the liver and the muscles and provides the body with a readily available source of <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">energy if blood glucose level decreases.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">When the blood sugar level drops, the liver breaks down glycogen into glucose and exports it to the <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">body tissues.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">At night, while we are asleep, the liver releases glucose into the blood stream. The liver acts as<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">glucose warehouse and keeps us supplied until we eat breakfast. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">Those diabetics on metformin prevents this conversion of glycogen into glucose, thereby reducing<\/span><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5123580823957590\" data-ad-slot=\"7875984934\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">the blood glucose level.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #030000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">So, if you get lost in the jungle, liver comes to play and produce glucose from glycogen stores in your <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">liver. What marvelous work the liver can do for your survival, without food.<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">When the liver glycogen reserves become exhausted, the liver synthesizes glucose from other<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">sources like fat and proteins.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #030000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Unlike fats and sugars, the liver cannot store amino acids from the proteins in your food. Amino acid <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">breakdown in the liver produces an amine group (NH2) which cannot be used by the body and is<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">potentially toxic.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #030000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">The liver removes such amino groups by converting them to harmless products. This process in the <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">liver is called \u2018detoxification\u2019.<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">So, the liver is the major site for converting excess carbs and proteins you consume into fatty acids<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">and triglycerides.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">These fatty acids and triglycerides are stored in fat cells as triglycerides.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">Liver also synthesizes phospholipids and cholesterol.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">Phospholipids are crucial for building the protective barrier around your body cells.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #030000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Cholesterol is a fat and cannot be transported in the blood which is water soluble. Mixing a fat and <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">water-soluble substance forms a lotion. Such a lotion can cause fat embolism and lead to death. So,<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #030000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">the liver is smart to produce a molecule called phospholipid to cover fats and then transported in <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">the blood stream, like a water-soluble chemical.<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #030000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Now you know why bad cholesterol is called LDL- stands for low density lipoprotein and good <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">cholesterol as HDL.<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">Cholesterol in your blood comes from two sources: the food you eat and your liver.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #030000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">So, now you realize the important part the liver plays in your life. You need to consume the right <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">foods in moderate quantities if you want to keep the liver functioning efficiently.<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">If the liver is damaged, it means that it is not able to work as well.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">If the liver is unable to do its job properly, it can be a life-threatening situation.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #030000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">One of the functions of the liver is to manufacture cholesterol and breakdown cholesterol. If the <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">liver is not working properly, it can cause cholesterol to build up and result in heart disease.<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #030000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">A diet can create fat around the liver if it is high in cholesterol. This can lead to a non-alcoholic fatty <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">liver disease (NAFLD).<\/span><\/span><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5123580823957590\" data-ad-slot=\"7875984934\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">Fatty liver can increase the risk of health problems, such as stroke and diabetes.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">So, it is important to reduce the amount of fat and added sugar in food to prevent liver disease.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">Diet can help to cut the risk of developing liver disease.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">If you have alcohol-related liver disease you need to cut down on your consumption of alcohol.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">Early stages of liver disease can be felt as pain in the upper part of the abdomen, on the right side.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #030000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">According to the American Liver Foundation, at least 30 million people, or 1 in 10 Americans, have <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">some form of liver disease.<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">In advanced liver disease in addition to the pain you may get fever<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #030000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">dark urine <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">pale, bloody, or tar-colored stools<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">nausea and vomiting<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #030000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">weight loss <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">yellowish skin<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">severe tenderness when touching the abdomen<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">swelling in the abdomen or in the legs and ankles<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #030000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">itchy skin <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">chronic fatigue<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">loss of appetite<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #030000;\">If you have any of the above symptoms you need to see your doctor for blood test for liver function.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #030000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">When your liver gets damaged it swells first.
