    In this video, we're going to talk about cirrhosis and the early detection of silent liver cirrhosis.
    What is cirrhosis?
    Cirrhosis is scar tissue of the liver.
    Categories of cirrhosis:
    1. Compensated Cirrhosis - Where the body is compensating, there are no symptoms.
    2. Decompensated Cirrhosis - This is where you start experiencing all of the symptoms.
    Symptoms of cirrhosis:
    • Spider Angioma - Red web-like veins
    • Xanthomas - Small yellow cholesterol spots, sometimes around the eyelids
    • Jaundice - The whites of the eyes and the skin become yellow
    • Thin Skin - You can't make collagen anymore
    • Ascites - A fluid-filled sac around the mid-section
    • Gynecomastia - Breast tissue
    • Clubbed fingernails
    • Edema in the lower leg
    • Red Palms
    • Confusion
    • Bruising
    • Itchy skin
    • Cognitive issues
    What causes cirrhosis?
    Cirrhosis of the liver starts with insulin resistance from:
    • Alcohol
    • High carb diets
    • Junk food
    • Sugar
    • Frequent eating
    • Drugs (legal or illegal)
    • Viruses
    Insulin resistance creates a lot of inflammation, which will also make insulin resistance worse. This situation may lead to a fatty liver, which can then lead to scar tissue in the liver that causes you to lose liver function, which is cirrhosis.
    Insulin resistance is also associated with:
    • Diabetes
    • Metabolic syndrome
    • Obesity
    If you have symptoms of cirrhosis, you may want to start by fixing the insulin resistance.

    22 years and 5 months sober. Was drinking 3 bottles of Vodka a day at my very lowest point. Admitted myself to hospital where I was successfully detoxed. A liver biopsy revealed a very fatty liver. Fortunately I had no sign of hepatitis or fibrosis and a few months later my liver was completely normal. Wished I sought some support as it was hard facing life without alcohol at the age of 30. I wish anyone who is battling alcohol dependency all the very best. 🙏🏼

      @@myyoutubechannel3161 hello 👋 so they gave me a local anaesthetic then inserted a needle into my liver, just below the ribs on the right side of my abdomen. They took a sliver of liver and then it was sent to histopathology for examination under a microscope (I presume) the results showed that I had steatosis (basically liver fat) fortunately I had no inflammation or fibrosis. After 6 months of abstinence I had my liver function blood tests repeated and an ultrasound of my liver. They were completely normal as I had stopped drinking. The worst thing about the biopsy was having to lie still for 6 hours on my left side. This is to prevent any bleeding. That was done on Christmas Eve 1999. I got my results back on the 6th of January. I know a bit about the liver so was very relieved that they caught it early as once scarring occurs it’s permanent and can still progress to cirrhosis over a few years despite abstinence. Technology has now changed and there is a very quick non invasive ultrasound that can detect the density of your liver and if the result is out of the normal range then they will advise accordingly depending on how high the reading is. Hope this was useful.

      If I knew 30 years ago what I know now, I might be healthy. When first told I had hep-c, the treatment was like Kemo or something. The Dr. told me there would be days I wouldn't be able to get out of bed because the treatment would be so bad. Also I was told there was no guarantee it would even work. I was working construction as a glazer. I couldn't take days off. couldn't feel anything wrong with me and thought I was healthy and strong as an ox. Then it got bad. By then they had the 8 week daily pill that cured the hep-c in less than 8 weeks. Even though I was cured of hep-c which I think I got at the hosp. when they had to operate on my broken compound fracture femur. That was back in 1980 before they checked the blood for diseases. But how do you prove that? Now I have outlived what the "specialist told me my time left. And I suffer all the time. Can't sleep, always in pain, can't eat hardly anything. Good luck to everyone!

I really hurt because there’s a pain on my back and in my stomach but if I don’t push myself to do this little bit of exercise that I started to do, I’m not gonna get any better it’s going to turn to the cirrhosis which I don’t want to have so that’s good that you and your friend are working out also, take care and God bless I pray everyone heals there liver !!!

      Yeah liver issues is probably much worst than heart issues. Your liver takes a hell of a beating with sugar, fats, enzymes, etc and anything you consume in large amount could kill your liver. Don't do drugs, alcohol or smoke. These 3 things will kill your liver. Also don't eat too much fatty food every day like a quadruple double cheese burger with sugar soda everyday.

      @@joanaagustin1 I suggest you adopt intermittent fasting as your eating habit, which is just:
      1. Eat some good healthy and wholesome foods. Once you're full, stop eating.
      2. Don't eat anything else at all until your body has fully digested and absorbed that last food (this takes about 10-16 hours, depending on what you ate last, the state of your body and other factors).
      3. Repeat.
      If you do this, you will feel better and your liver will thank you for the rest it will be getting from that day on. If you don't, well, you'll get the same results you've been getting so far. Enjoy!

    Dr Berg - love all your videos whether they pertain to me or not :-). They're short, sharp and explained in layman's terms so you're left in no doubt about what they mean or what you should do. Much better than some GP's I have seen who have skimmed over "fatty liver" and not explained it properly at all. Thank you for doing just that ☺

    I wish I had known about 2 or 3 years ago. I believe this is what caused my partner to pass away in 2019. She had been diagnosed with Cirrhosis, but didn't take it seriously enough, and passed within 3 months. :(

    Excellent, thank you! Your video was very helpful as I have quite a few of the items mentioned on your board and I never connected it with the liver issues. Thank you very much for posting this very good video

    Thank you. I love information films that carry the facts and are not condescending. I am about to be included in a Fatty liver drug trial in the UK. This has been the best video I've come across. Thank you for taking the time to explain the issues.
