Familial hereditary liver disease

If hereditary liver disease runs in a family, the consequences are quite serious and will cause great harm to the newborn baby. Therefore, couples should check whether there is a family history of hereditary liver disease before conception. Familial hereditary liver diseases generally include cirrhosis and hepatitis B. These liver diseases are contagious and require patients to receive timely treatment from a doctor to be alleviated.

Experts point out that the incidence of liver disease has a "family clustering phenomenon." In fact, there are many types of liver diseases, some of which are "inherited" and some of which are "contagious."

Feng Bo: The incidence of liver disease has a "familial clustering phenomenon." In fact, there are many types of liver diseases, some of which are "inherited" and some of which are "contagious."

1. Inherited: that is, hereditary metabolic liver disease.

Genetic metabolic liver disease can manifest as chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis, but few cases actually develop into liver cancer.

Common ones include: copper metabolism disease, iron metabolism disorder, carbohydrate metabolism disorder, lipid metabolism disorder, protein metabolism disorder and amino acid metabolism disease, etc.

2. It is contagious: Hepatitis B cases tend to occur in families.

In my country, 80%-90% of primary liver cancer is caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. HBV infection in my country has a family clustering phenomenon, which also leads to the "family clustering phenomenon" of liver cancer that occurs on this basis.

Hepatitis B and hepatitis C are not genetic diseases. The reason why hepatitis B clusters in families is: 1. One of the common transmission routes of HBV is mother-to-child transmission. If the mother is infected with HBV, her offspring are very likely to be infected; 2. Close contact within the family. Feng Bo: Based on the characteristics of this case: there is a family history of liver disease and liver cancer, primary liver cancer should be considered first, and it is highly suspected that the cause of the disease is chronic hepatotropic virus infection, especially HBV infection.

Treatments for liver disease

1. Antiviral treatment. Sina Chinese medicine experts pointed out that when the indications for antiviral treatment are met, antiviral treatment should be considered first. It has a certain effect in preventing liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer in the long term. During antiviral treatment, the condition should be monitored at all times, and the drug resistance should be observed. Cell gene immunotherapy for liver disease should be performed at any time according to the opinions of experts to prevent or reduce the resistance rate of liver disease viruses and improve the antiviral effect.

2. General measures to treat liver disease: Some patients with liver disease are suitable for treatment, while some patients are suitable for regular follow-up. Antiviral treatment measures are not considered for the time being. Sometimes liver protection treatment can be tried. For some acute patients and mild chronic patients, the condition can be relieved through rest and nutrition. First of all, a reasonable diet and nutritional support should be given, and smoking and drinking should be avoided.

3. You should combine work and rest in your life and work, get adequate rest, avoid overwork, and especially ensure rest during the illness. For most HBV carriers, regular follow-up is important. Most of the dietary taboos are influenced by traditional medicine. As a general carrier, you do not need to consider these issues. However, excessive nutrition can cause fatty liver, making treatment difficult.
