In this video, we're going to talk about cirrhosis and the early detection of silent liver cirrhosis.
What is cirrhosis?
Cirrhosis is scar tissue of the liver.
Categories of cirrhosis:
1. Compensated Cirrhosis – Where the body is compensating, there are no symptoms.
2. Decompensated Cirrhosis – This is where you start experiencing all of the symptoms.
Symptoms of cirrhosis:
• Spider Angioma – Red web-like veins
• Xanthomas – Small yellow cholesterol spots, sometimes around the eyelids
• Jaundice – The whites of the eyes and the skin become yellow
• Thin Skin – You can't make collagen anymore
• Ascites – A fluid-filled sac around the mid-section
• Gynecomastia – Breast tissue
• Clubbed fingernails
• Edema in the lower leg
• Red Palms
• Confusion
• Bruising
• Itchy skin
• Cognitive issues
What causes cirrhosis?
Cirrhosis of the liver starts with insulin resistance from:
• Alcohol
• High carb diets
• Junk food
• Sugar
• Frequent eating
• Drugs (legal or illegal)
• Viruses
Insulin resistance creates a lot of inflammation, which will also make insulin resistance worse. This situation may lead to a fatty liver, which can then lead to scar tissue in the liver that causes you to lose liver function, which is cirrhosis.
Insulin resistance is also associated with:
• Diabetes
• Metabolic syndrome
• Obesity
If you have symptoms of cirrhosis, you may want to start by fixing the insulin resistance.
