| What are the liver health and testing methods? |
1. Liver function test (GOT, GPT):
When liver cells are necrotic, GOT and GPT are released into the blood. Therefore, some people think that it is called "hepatic inflammation index", which is more suitable than the liver function index. The level of GOT and GPT has no relationship with the severity and prognosis of liver disease. Sometimes the immune system causes hepatocyte necrosis in order to remove the virus. At this time, the GOT and GPT values will rise, so GOT and GPT cannot be used alone. To judge whether there is a problem with the liver.
2. Hepatitis marker:
When liver cells are necrotic, GOT and GPT are released into the blood. Therefore, some people think that it is called "hepatic inflammation index", which is more suitable than the liver function index. The level of GOT and GPT has no relationship with the severity and prognosis of liver disease. Sometimes the immune system causes hepatocyte necrosis in order to remove the virus. At this time, the GOT and GPT values will rise, so GOT and GPT cannot be used alone. To judge whether there is a problem with the liver.
Hepatitis A virus marker:
* IgG-A hepatitis virus antibody (IgG anti-HAV): mainly to diagnose whether it has been infected with hepatitis A
* IgM-A hepatitis virus antibody (IgM anti-HAV): mainly to diagnose whether it is recently infected with hepatitis A, is an indicator of the onset of acute hepatitis A
Hepatitis B virus marker:
* Hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg): If positive, it indicates the presence of hepatitis B virus in the body.
* Hepatitis B virus surface antibody (anti-HBs): If positive, it means that the hepatitis B virus has been infected, it has been cured and the antibody will not be infected again.
* Hepatitis B virus e-antigen (HBeAg): If positive, it indicates that the virus is proliferating and infectious.
* Hepatitis B virus core antibody (anti-HBc): If positive, it indicates that there is infection or presence of hepatitis B virus in the body.
* IgM-B hepatitis virus core antibody (anti-HBc-IgM): now acute HBV hepatitis
Hepatitis C virus marker:
* Hepatitis C virus antibody (anit-HCV): If positive, it indicates the presence of hepatitis C virus in the body.
3. Abdominal ultrasound examination:
Although the blood test can reflect the liver function of the patient, it does not provide a clear message for cirrhosis or liver cancer. Especially for patients with partial cirrhosis and liver cancer, the liver function test results are sometimes within the normal range. And it may be asymptomatic. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct blood tests and cooperate with ultrasonic examination.
4. Blood protein check in the fetus:
Diet control
1. In the case of acute hepatitis, in order to promote liver tissue repair, you can take 1.5 to 2 times more protein than usual, such as fish, meat, milk, etc., to avoid excessive intake of animal fats and cholesterol. In addition, you can also eat more fruits to increase vitamin intake.
2. Patients with cirrhosis should take more protein in the early and middle stages. Because liver function is insufficient in liver cirrhosis, it is necessary to supplement protein-rich foods such as meat and beans. However, once the liver cirrhosis is reached, hepatic coma occurs. At this time, the amount of protein should be limited to avoid excessive ammonia and other toxins, and the salt and water intake should be restricted.
3. Fatty liver patients should limit high-calorie foods. There are many reasons for fatty liver. If it is obesity or fatty liver caused by high blood fat, you must control the calories of food every day and eat less fat-rich foods.
4. Healthy raw materials and chronic hepatitis patients need to eat fresh and natural foods on a regular basis. Processed foods and pickled foods should be avoided as much as possible to prevent the accumulation of chemical substances in the liver and increase the burden on the liver.
