Fibery liver disease is known as one of the serious chronic liver diseases, but few people realize that it can progress and cause dangerous complications for the brain.
Gastroenterologist Joseph Salhab, a liver specialist at AdventHealth Heart of Florid, has warned against October scoliosis (OHE), a common complication in people with cirrhosis, which can directly affect both physical and mental health, according to hindustantimes.
Dr. Salhab emphasizes that when the liver is damaged and loses the ability to remove toxins from the blood, toxins accumulate in the body. This is the cause of impaired brain function, causing a series of neurological and behavioral disorders.
According to Dr. Salhab, the symptoms of liver disease can be very diverse and difficult to recognize from the beginning. Patients often experience confusion, disorientation, personality changes, sleep disturbances, shaking, etc.
Notably, these manifestations can be mistaken for other psychological problems or diseases, causing many patients to delay treatment.
These changes not only affect daily life but also seriously threaten overall health if not detected and controlled promptly, Dr. Salhab warned.
However, Mr. Salhab also said that patients should not worry too much because liver disease attacks can be completely controlled if they are understood and closely monitored. The most important thing is that patients and caregivers need to clearly understand the symptoms to promptly discuss with the doctor.
Understanding your condition is the first step to preventing complications. I have heard many patients share that they wish they knew these signs early. Therefore, it is extremely necessary to find information and openly discuss with doctors. the doctor emphasized.
Dr. Salhab recommends that people with liver disease, especially cirrhosis, should strictly follow the treatment regimen, combining a healthy lifestyle such as limiting alcohol, maintaining a reasonable diet and regular check-ups.
Proactively identifying unusual signs early not only helps improve quality of life but also prevents dangerous complications that can threaten life.
