Effect on Liver due to Alcoholism and Drug Abuse
Alcoholism and chronic drug use can effectively
affect victims. It isn't simply the individual
with the dependence who endures genuinely and
monetarily yet additionally their relatives.
Notwithstanding, those with the disease are left
with passionate and mental scars as well as with
actual infirmities that can keep going for quite
a while. A portion of the harm brought about by
liquor and illicit drug use can be extremely
durable, so assuming you are in recuperation from
a medication or liquor habit, you should be aware
of any clinical issues that could be an
aftereffect of long stretches of substance
misuse. The liver is an important organ digesting
food and getting rid of toxic substances from the
body. The liver contributes to major body
functions like metabolism by producing bile to
break fat from food to provide energy as well as
store glucose that provides energy to the body,
detoxification by cleansing the body of the
harmful chemicals produces, and immunity.
Nutrients are provided to the liver through the
hepatic portal vein from digestive organs to
carry out its functions. Sometimes people can
have liver diseases and not even know about them
as usually there are no symptoms until it is very
late. Liver disease may be hereditary or due to
damage caused by a viral infection, alcohol
abuse, or obesity.

Damage caused to Liver

• Medications and liquor misuse cause liver harm in
  one of two ways by straightforwardly influencing
  it and by turning it into a hazardous synthetic
  that can be hurtful to the liver even after the
  liver has handled it.
• Liver damage is measured by three types of liver
  toxicity
• Dose-dependent This is common among people with
  high dosage ingested. This leads to a high level
  of toxicity leading to liver damage.
• Idiosyncratic This leads to distinctive toxicity
  only affecting people with specific genes causing
  the liver to break down certain drugs. This is
  the most widely recognized type of medication
  that prompted liver illness since individuals
  ordinarily take a few drugs all at once.
• Drug allergy If you have an allergic reaction to
  a drug, liver inflammation occurs due to the
  immune systems attempts at fighting back the
  drugs.

Ways of Keeping Liver Healthy

• Some ways to keep the liver healthy are
• Limit alcohol abuse  The liver can break down
  only a small amount of alcohol every hour.
  Alcohol is like any other toxic in the body for
  the liver. If taken in a large amount the alcohol
  will damage the liver by causing inflammation
  i.e. fatty liver and scarring (cirrhosis).
• Avoid the use of illicit drugs - Prohibited drugs
  include marijuana, cocaine, heroin,
  hallucinogens, inhalants, or prescription-type
  psychotherapeutics (pain relievers,
  tranquilizers, stimulants, and sedatives) used
  non-medically. These drugs are addictive and
  leads to liver damage.
• Weight Management  Obesity causes many diseases
  like heart problems, diabetes, arthritis,
  or cancer. It is important to reduce weight to be
  healthy and stay away from these diseases. This
  can be achieved by reducing the calorie intake by
  avoiding sugar, increasing fruit and vegetable
  intake as well as replacing processed foods. A
  healthy diet will help not only manage the weight
  but also help in recovering the damaged liver.
