Difficulty healing of fractures may be related to your “liver”! (Schematic diagram/pexels)
“If the liver is not good, life will be black and white.” Your “bone” problem may be related to your liver!
Dr. Qian Zhenghong recently visited FenzhuanQian Zhenghong, gastroenterologist, hepatobiliary surgeonShare that a 70-year-old woman was injured in a fall and received orthopedic treatment. After diagnosis, the doctor found that her pelvis and femur were severely fractured. She was hospitalized for more than a month before she could get out of bed. But the doctor found something wrong. A simple fracture would not be so serious, so he further performed a bone density test on the woman. Only then did he discover that she had “severe osteoporosis” in her waist, spine and thigh joints. The “vitamin D” after the blood test was even higher. Only 10.3, which is a serious deficiency.
Vitamin D deficiency is closely related to internal medicine, so the orthopedic surgeon referred the woman to Dr. Qian’s internal medicine department. After an ultrasound examination, it was shockingly discovered that the woman actually had cirrhosis of the liver!
The doctor further said that such cases are not uncommon: “Some patients were infected with viral hepatitis when they were young and did not know it, did not receive treatment, or were overworked for a long time, which damaged the liver, causing the liver to deteriorate at a young age. Then it becomes fibrosis or cirrhosis!” Because chronic liver disease has no obvious symptoms, it is the complications of liver cirrhosis that appear one after another, and the public begins to be vigilant. In particular, zinc ions and vitamin D deficiency are the most commonly ignored problems.
The liver is a very important organ in the human body. In addition to metabolizing proteins, toxins, etc., it also stores a large amount of vitamins. If there is a problem with the liver, symptoms such as ascites, lower limb edema, and jaundice may also occur. The public is reminded to be “careful” in daily life!
