There it is worth noting that it is a silent disease and in which the symptoms are few, in some cases it does not occur. Neverthelessthis condition is usually accompanied by fatigue, mild pain and a small swelling in the upper right part of the abdominal area.
Faced with this disease and symptoms that it presents, the National Institute of Diabetes explains that Certain health conditions, such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes, increase the likelihood of developing fatty liver in the body.
On the other hand, and speaking of the characteristics of the liver, it should be noted that this is the largest internal organ in the body and that it is similar in size to an American football; It is located mainly in the upper right part of the abdomen, below the diaphragm and above the stomach.according to the Mayo Clinic, a nonprofit organization dedicated to clinical practice, education and research.
Likewise, the largest health care system in San Francisco, Stanford Medicine Children’s Health, went on to identify more than 500 vital functions of the liver, but the best known are the following:
- Bile production (helps carry waste and break down fats in the small intestine during digestion).
- Production of certain proteins for the blood plasma.
- Production of cholesterol and special proteins to help transport fats throughout the body.
- Conversion of excess glucose into storage glycogen (this glycogen can later be converted back to glucose for energy).
- Glucose balance and production as needed.
- Regulation of amino acid levels in the blood (they are the protein-forming units).
- Processing of hemoglobin for the distribution of its iron content (the liver stores iron).
- The vitamin that helps reduce fat in the liver
- Conversion of toxic ammonia to urea (urea is one of the end products of protein metabolism and is excreted in the urine).
- Purification of drugs and other toxic substances from the blood.
- Regulation of blood coagulation.
- Resistance to infection by producing immunity factors and eliminating certain bacteria from the bloodstream.
- Bilirubin clearance (a buildup of bilirubin would make the skin and eyes yellow).
Now, knowing the importance of this organ and understanding its proper functioning and, in addition, understanding that the negative effects of being diagnosed with fatty liver must be counteracted, the consumption of foods and infusions that correct and control the level of fat in the organ is recommended.
