“Undercooked Steak: A Cautionary Tale of Liver Failure”

A few days later, the man began to lose his appetite. When he smelled food with a strong oily smell, he would feel nauseous and want to vomit, and he was extremely tired, so he sought medical advice again. After examination, it was found that the man had jaundice symptoms, and the liver index exceeded the standard, and he was diagnosed with acute hepatitis B. Dr. Qian Zhenghong said that if the man did not seek medical treatment in time, he may deteriorate to liver failure and need a liver transplant to continue his life.

There are 2 symptoms of fear of hepatitis aura

Dr. Qian Zhenghong pointed out that because the man initially had acid reflux, stomach pain and other symptoms, he was diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis. However, the man’s subsequent loss of appetite and nausea were symptoms of acute hepatitis. Dr. Qian emphasized that patients with hepatitis often have abnormal senses of smell and taste, and cannot smell normal odors.

Dr. Qian added that although there is no clear evidence, the man’s acute hepatitis may be related to eating too raw steak. He also reminded not to take painkillers indiscriminately during dry days, and to have a regular life schedule and adequate sleep to prevent liver function from being damaged again.
