Chronic liver disease can affect brain health
Chronic liver disease has the potential to impact brain health in a multitude of ways. One prevalent neurological disorder that arises from liver damage is “hepatic encephalopathy,” which entails the degradation of cognitive function as a result of toxins building up in the bloodstream, typically filtered by the liver. The manifestation of hepatic encephalopathy can encompass symptoms such as…

Understanding Liver Disease: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment
The liver is a vital organ that performs many important functions in the body, including filtering toxins, producing bile, and regulating the metabolism of nutrients, hormones, and drugs. When the liver is damaged or infected, its ability to perform these functions can be severely impaired, leading to a wide range of serious health problems known collectively as liver disease.
Types of Liver Disease
There are many different types of liver disease, each with its own specific causes, symptoms, and treatment options. Some of the most common types of liver disease include viral hepatitis (caused by the hepatitis A, B, C, D, or E viruses), alcohol-related liver disease, fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, and liver cancer.
One of the most important factors in the development of liver disease is lifestyle. Alcohol abuse is a leading cause of liver disease, as it can cause damage to the liver cells and lead to fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. Similarly, exposure to toxins such as drugs, chemicals, and pollutants can also cause liver damage and contribute to the development of liver disease.
Other risk factors for liver disease include obesity, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. In addition, people with a family history of liver disease or certain medical conditions, such as hepatitis or autoimmune diseases, may be at an increased risk of developing liver disease.
Symptoms of Liver
The symptoms of liver disease can range from mild to severe and can include fatigue, abdominal pain, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), dark urine, pale stools, loss of appetite, and nausea. In some cases, liver disease may not cause any noticeable symptoms until it is in its advanced stages, making it all the more important to be aware of the risk factors and to seek medical attention if you suspect you may have liver disease.
Treatment of Liver Disease
Treatment for liver disease depends on the underlying cause and the severity of the disease. In many cases, lifestyle changes such as quitting alcohol, eating a healthy diet, and getting regular exercise can help to slow the progression of liver disease and improve overall health. In some cases, medications or medical procedures may be necessary to manage symptoms and prevent complications. If you are struggling from Liver Disease, then you should consult a liver specialist in Gurgaon.
Conclusion
Liver disease is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition that affects millions of people worldwide. To protect your liver and reduce your risk of developing liver disease, it is important to adopt a healthy lifestyle, seek medical attention if you experience any symptoms of liver disease, and to be vigilant about any risk factors that may put you at an increased risk of developing this condition. Consult liver specialist doctor for liver disease treatment in Gurgaon.

today’s my nephrology appt where i get to find out if my liver is also having problems or if the cold meds I took the week of the blood draws fucked up the results! My kidneys think their job is optional and I’m really hoping they didn’t get evangelical with my liver
Also if I’m still so vitamin D deficient I legally qualify as a vampire!
May come out of the appt with fun new dietary restrictions but I’m less worried about that as I am about my liver tbh

In other non MK related news my mental health is really in the shitter today. I know most people who see this won’t care but I use tumblr as an outlet for my emotions. I’m really reeling from my hepatology appointment yesterday, I’ve known my kidneys were bad for a while because tacrolimus is a horrible, wicked, two-sided drug, on the one hand it keeps my body from destroying my heart but on the other hand it ruins my kidneys but I had no clue anything was wrong with my liver. The doctor said living with my childhood condition of left ventricular failure for 14 years caused irreversible liver damage. I just, I don’t know what to do. I just want to cry but for some reason I can’t. I’ve always known I was living on borrowed time ever since my heart transplant but now with having so many issues with so many vital organs it seems like my time is running out sooner than I expected. I guess 25 years was a good run but it seems so fucking ironic and unfair that I finally don’t want to die and I will. I get the feeling my celebration trip I planned for later this year will probably be my final vacation, so I guess I better try and enjoy it as much as I can. I’m not necessarily sad for myself but Denny won’t understand why I’m gone and that really breaks my heart. He’s such a good boy and I love him so much I don’t want to do anything that will make him sad. At least I’ll get to be reunited with Jäger if anything in life is even remotely fair.

Tuesday me decided that Wednesday me was going to do paperwork stuff and post things.
Wednesday me was fatigued to fuck and paralysed unable to move on with anything like eating or stuff because of the demand avoidance stress of having this thing I had to do.
Then Wednesday me remembered that actually it could fucking wait. So then I felt better and ate stuff and adulted a bit in other ways. I also did a lot of laying on the sofa too.
So today me is going to post the thing and get coconut barista style milk and pasta for tea. Also today me rocks because I went into the hospital and had appointments and stuff. So today me gets a wispa too.

The first pic is on the post of an earring. Small. And I FUCKING HATE IT. It's a spore of Aspergillus fungus. We found out it's in our house. It's made me very sick. And it took our beautiful asshole away from us.
Midnight had a human-level intelligence and was a delightful jerk. She was 15. Aspergillus fungus and orbital/sinus cancer. The vet assured us that we did the kind thing today.
And now I've got leverage, in a way. I've been having Aspergilliosis symptoms for months now. Can't shake it because I have multiple immune disorders. Even had an Infectious Diseases specialist tell me I had Delusional Parasitosis.
My dead cat would beg to differ, bitch.
Her saying that put me in a deep hellscape for 3 days, because I thought I didn't know what was real. Then I thought "hey, what the actual fuck," and started advocating better...remembering all the SCORES of ways the US health system has failed me.
I plan on being a SEVERE asshole in plenty of asses.
