The Korean singer Park Jung-won , who has worked with Andy Lau , died of cirrhosis some time ago, which attracted a lot of attention.
media reports did not disclose the initial reason for the popular star cirrhosis , but said that he "don't touch the wine, good living habits, and no bad habits" . It is reported that Park Jung-woon also suffers from diabetes and has undergone "liver surgery" (the specific details are unknown, it may be a liver transplant), but his condition suddenly worsened and he died.
People with such a good lifestyle will also suffer from terrible cirrhosis. Why is this? Let’s take a look at what causes cirrhosis like this.
The first is viral hepatitis .
is mainly chronic hepatitis B and hepatitis C .
is included in the statutory infectious diseases, including five types: A, B, C, D and E: among them, Hepatitis A and are acute hepatitis, which generally does not cause cirrhosis; Hepatitis B, C, and Hepatitis D will cause chronic hepatitis . If hepatitis activity is not controlled, it may gradually develop into liver fibrosis and cirrhosis.
The second is alcoholic liver disease .
Alcohol liver disease is directly related to alcoholism, long-term large-scale drinking, frequent alcohol abuse and other drinking behaviors. Men's weekly alcohol intake is greater than 50 mg and women's weekly alcohol exceeds 30 mg, which lasts for more than 5 years, which may lead to alcoholic liver disease . Failure to control alcoholic hepatitis and allow the disease to further develop may further lead to cirrhosis or even liver cancer . People who do not drink alcohol will not suffer from alcoholic cirrhosis.
The third is non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
After excluding factors such as drinking and medication, if the patient has metabolic problems at the same time, such as diabetes, obesity, and hyperlipidemia, the probability of fatty liver is very high.
Disease spectrum of non-alcoholic fatty liver include: simple fatty liver, steatohepatitis , fatty liver fibrosis , cirrhosis, and liver cancer. Patients with fatty liver who have been repeatedly hepatitis for a long time will lead to cirrhosis, which is often easily overlooked and should be paid attention to.
The fourth is autoimmune liver disease .
is divided into two categories: autoimmune liver disease with hepatitis as the main manifestation and autoimmune disease with liver damage but with kidneys or other organs as the main problem. The ones we have more contact with on a daily basis include primary bile cholangitis and primary sclerotic cholangitis , etc.
The fifth is genetic metabolic liver disease.
This contains a wide variety of diseases, including hemochromatosis and hepatomorphic nuclear degeneration. These two diseases are abnormal iron metabolism and copper metabolism, and other diseases include α1-antitrypsin deficiency , etc.
Other reasons.
Long-term use of certain drugs may cause liver damage and in turn cause cirrhosis, such as methotrexate and isoniazid . The liver's blood circulation is affected, such as in the case of chronic heart failure, which can also cause cirrhosis. Celiac disease, idiopathic adult intrahepatic cholangiode deficiency, polycystic hepatic , hepatic venous occlusion , hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia , hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia , granulation liver disease . Some special infectious liver diseases can also cause cirrhosis, such as syphilis , brucellosis, schistosomiasis and echinococcosis . There are still a few that cannot be found at all, called cryptogenic cirrhosis.
Cirrhosis generally does not directly lead to death. The Korean singer mentioned above reported that he died of cirrhosis, which should not have reached this stage of liver cancer. Considering that it was decompensated cirrhosis, the surgery performed, it is speculated that it may be a liver transplant. Some liver transplants have good results, while others may not work well, which vary from person to person.
