summary

Hepatitis is a kind of liver disease, but those who know it should be familiar with it. After the occurrence of this disease, treatment needs a process. In the process of treatment, patients should not only cooperate with doctors for drug treatment, but also do a good job in daily nursing, especially in diet, Today, let me learn about the symptoms of autoimmune hepatitis.

Symptoms of autoimmune hepatitis

First, fever; In the early stage of acute yellow gangrene hepatitis, there is often fever, mostly in 37.5-38.5 degrees centigrade. High fever is rare, generally lasting for 3-5 days. The fever of patients without yellow gangrene hepatitis is far lower than that of patients with yellow gangrene hepatitis. Many patients with fever are also accompanied by general discomfort, loss of appetite, mistaken for a cold. A large number of patients with hepatitis B are often treated with cold in the outpatient department of the hospital, and they are diagnosed only after 3-5 days after the appearance of hepatitis B. This is due to the lack of understanding of hepatitis fever symptoms. The causes of fever may be hepatocyte necrosis, liver dysfunction, decreased detoxification and excretion function or viremia.

Second, there were dull pain and swelling in the liver area; Patients with hepatitis often complain of pain in the liver region, involving the right upper abdomen or right back. The degree of pain is different. Some patients have distending pain, dull pain or acupuncture like pain, which aggravates when they are active, and the time is different; Sometimes the pain is relieved when lying on the left side. The reason is that hepatitis virus causes liver enlargement and increases the tension of liver capsule; The inflammation affected the ligaments of the liver and the surrounding connective tissue; In addition, when suffering from hepatitis, the virus often affects the gallbladder and biliary system, causing inflammation of the gallbladder and its surrounding. There are also patients who have no pain in the liver area at the beginning of illness. Once hepatitis is diagnosed, they often complain of discomfort and pain in the liver area, which may be related to mental factors. If persistent pain does not relieve for a long time, it should be checked carefully to exclude other reasons.

Third, spider nevus and liver palmar symptoms appeared in a few severe liver diseases; Spider nevus is a special telangiectasia. It often appears in the face, neck and chest, and also in other parts. It is a small round hemangioma with a diameter less than 2 mm in the center, with many capillaries extending around and branches. It looks like a red spider lying on the skin.

matters needing attention

High protein food should be avoided in the diet of patients with hepatitis. The liver function metabolism of patients with hepatitis is weak. A large amount of high protein food will increase blood ammonia, and the liver is unable to quickly convert blood ammonia into urea, which is easy to induce toxic reactions such as liver coma. Therefore, high protein food such as beef, shrimp, sea cucumber, black chicken and sheep liver should be avoided in the diet of patients with hepatitis.
