What are the main symptoms of hepatitis B
summary
Yesterday, when I went to the hospital to see my uncle, I knew that my uncle was suffering from hepatitis B, because my uncle's disease was discovered in a timely manner, so the process of treatment was relatively smooth, but my uncle was in a very good health, and he also paid attention to health preservation. He didn't know how he was suffering from hepatitis B. Hepatitis B has many kinds of symptoms in clinical medicine. Let me tell you about the main symptoms of hepatitis B.
What are the main symptoms of hepatitis B
Symptom 1: liver pain: lack of pain nerve in the liver, hepatitis B generally does not have severe pain. However, there is a thin membrane on the surface of the liver, which is called liver capsule. There are pain nerves on the liver capsule. When the liver is inflamed and swollen, the liver capsule is tense and the pain nerves are stimulated. Therefore, some patients may have discomfort and dull pain in the right upper abdomen and right costal region. If the pain is severe, we should also pay attention to the possibility of biliary tract diseases, liver cancer, gastrointestinal diseases, so as to avoid misdiagnosis. Most patients with liver disease will have liver pain, if it is hepatitis B patients, there will be no obvious pain symptoms, but the symptoms will continue.
Symptom 2: hepatosplenomegaly: due to inflammation, congestion, edema, cholestasis, hepatitis B often has hepatomegaly. If chronic inflammation does not heal, repeated attacks. The fibrous connective tissue proliferated and the texture of liver became hard. In the late stage, due to the destruction of a large number of hepatocytes, the fibrous tissue shrinks and the liver shrinks. In the early stage of acute hepatitis B or chronic hepatitis B, there is no obvious splenomegaly. In the future, splenomegaly can be caused by hyperplasia of splenic reticuloendothelial system, portal hypertension and splenic congestion. Persistent progressive splenomegaly usually indicates cirrhosis. In clinical medicine, this kind of symptom is more common, once appeared, it must be liver disease.
Symptom 3: general symptoms: Patients with hepatitis B often feel weak, weak, easy to fatigue, unable to play spirit, the reason may be impaired liver function, eating less, food digestion and absorption disorders, inadequate intake of nutrients. On the other hand, due to inflammation and increased consumption, the ingested substances can not be fully metabolized to meet the needs of the body due to the damage of liver function. The third aspect may be the mental and psychological pressure caused by hepatitis B, which affects rest and sleep. Insomnia and dreaminess may be related to this. This kind of systemic symptom also is a kind of symptom expression of second liver. If it is early hepatitis B patients, the body will often overdraft, often feel powerless, no spirit, it is easy to fall asleep.
matters needing attention
We should protect our liver, because the liver is an important digestive organ, and the bile secreted by the liver is necessary for food digestion. Suffering from hepatitis, bile secretion will be reduced, thus affecting the digestion and absorption of food. If there is a problem with the liver, it should be noted that you must not stay up late, you must have more time to rest, try to quit smoking and drinking, do not eat stimulating food.
