Intrahepatic calcification refers to the deposition of calcium salts in the liver. Calcification is caused by the local cell necrosis and degeneration of liver cells after they are damaged, which in turn leads to the deposition of calcium salts on the necrotic cells and the formation of calcifications. Intrahepatic calcifications are clinically common and usually do not cause significant symptoms or affect liver function, so no special ** is required.
There are several causes of intrahepatic calcifications, the most common of which is intrahepatic bile duct stones. Intrahepatic bile duct stones are caused by cholestasis, biliary tract infection, etc., which can lead to poor bile flow in the bile ducts, which can lead to the formation of stones. Intrahepatic bile duct stones can cause symptoms such as bile duct obstruction and cholestasis, and long-term development may also lead to liver cirrhosis, liver cancer and other diseases. Therefore, for patients with intrahepatic bile duct stones, it needs to be performed in a timely manner**.
In addition to intrahepatic bile duct stones, intrahepatic calcifications may be associated with other conditions. For example, chronic hepatitis, liver abscess, liver trauma, etc., may lead to the formation of intrahepatic calcifications. These conditions need to be carried out under the guidance of a doctor**, and patients need to have regular liver function tests to monitor changes in their condition.
For patients with intrahepatic calcifications, the following points need to be noted:
1. Regular liver function tests: Although intrahepatic calcifications do not cause obvious symptoms, it is still necessary to pay attention to changes in liver function. Regular liver function tests are recommended for timely detection and ** liver disease.
2. Dietary adjustment: patients with intrahepatic calcification foci need to pay attention to dietary adjustment and avoid bad dietary Xi such as excessive drinking and overeating. At the same time, proper intake of foods rich in vitamins, minerals and other nutrients can help protect liver health.
3. Avoid overwork: Overwork may increase the burden on the liver, so patients with intrahepatic calcifications need to pay attention to rest and avoid overwork.
4. Active primary disease: The formation of intrahepatic calcification foci is related to a variety of diseases, so patients need to actively develop primary diseases under the guidance of doctors. For example, in patients with chronic hepatitis, antiviral** is requiredFor patients with liver abscess, antibiotics** are required, etc.
5. Pay attention to physical condition: Patients with intrahepatic calcifications need to pay attention to their physical condition, such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms, they need to seek medical attention in time.
In conclusion, intrahepatic calcifications are a common liver lesion that usually does not cause significant symptoms and does not require special **. However, patients still need to pay attention to the health of the liver and have regular liver function tests in order to detect and improve liver disease in time. At the same time, measures such as paying attention to dietary adjustment, avoiding overwork, and actively developing primary diseases can also help protect liver health.
