What to do about abnormal liver function
Disease description:
I have recently been experiencing frequent pain in the liver area, with intermittent discomfort. I would like to get a physical examination. So, what should I do if my liver function is abnormal?
When liver function becomes abnormal, the following measures should be taken:
1. Identify the cause: Determine the cause of the abnormal liver function through medical examinations, such as viral hepatitis, fatty liver disease, drug-induced liver injury, etc.
2. Targeted treatment: Administer appropriate treatment based on the cause. For example, antiviral therapy is needed for viral hepatitis; dietary adjustment and increased physical activity are required for fatty liver disease; discontinuation or substitution of the implicated medication is necessary for drug-induced liver injury.
3. Liver-protective treatment: While identifying the underlying cause, liver-protective medications such as glycyrrhizic acid preparations, polyene phosphatidylcholine, etc., may be used to reduce liver inflammation and promote hepatocyte repair.
4. Lifestyle modification: Avoid unhealthy habits such as alcohol consumption, staying up late, and excessive fatigue; maintain a healthy schedule and diet.
Regular liver function tests should be conducted to monitor disease progression and adjust treatment plans promptly.
