COVID-19 and Liver Diseases


 

The people only with the symptoms of COVID-19 are mildly sick but the people who are already suffering with the underlying chronic liver diseases are likely to have more serious consequences caused by corona virus.

According to the CDC studies patients who are admitted for COVID-19 have shown the increased levels of liver enzymes namely Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and Aspartate aminotransferase. These high levels of these enzymes indicate that the liver of the person is temporarily damaged due to the certain illness. In addition to this fact studies also indicated that the COVID-19 patients with underlying chronic liver diseases, cirrhosis and liver related complications are at higher risk of death than the people without the liver illness.

There are now Vaccines available for the COVID-19 and whoever is eligible to get them can be vaccinated. COVID-19 can lead to the serious consequences such as lung problems, Pneumonia and Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Pneumonia is the serious illness of the air ways that results in fillings the lungs with the fluid. This increases the level of difficulty to breath and the person may even die in serious conditions.

People who are more susceptible to COVID-19

  • Old aged people
  • People with weak immune system due to conditions like HIV, Autoimmune Hepatitis and organ transplant
  • Obese people
  • Type 2 Diabetes
  • People with cardiac diseases
  • People with kidney diseases and lung diseases such as asthma
  • Cancer patients

The things to do to prevent the spread of COVID-19 include staying at home and get vaccinated. Contact a well known physician if an individual observes high risk illness. Protect the liver by taking the immunity boosters and liver healthy food. Exercising regularly can increase the body ability to fight against the COVID-19.

    I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
