One of the most vital organs is the liver
which is mainly responsible for detoxification and synthesis of protein
in the body. Regular consumption of large quantities of alcohol, lack of
nutrition and viruses are factors that cause serious trouble to the
organ. A subtle symptom like sleepiness and a more serious symptom like
jaundice are indications of a failing liver. In the case of complete
failure of this organ, a person may not have any other choice but to get
listed for a liver transplant. Not only is this a costly affair,
getting a organ complementary to the patient's body can be quite a
time-consuming task.
With the advancements in technology, organ
transplantation is becoming a common and successful surgical operation.
Not just that, contrary to what was thought to be previously impossible,
transplant specialists are now able to perform the transplant with an
incompatible liver. A recent transplant in Delhi NCR has been
successfully completed despite the incompatibility. The doctors used
immune suppressive medicines to control the body of the patient.
With
the average modern family adopting poor lifestyle choices, a survey has
revealed that almost one-fourth of the total population of children are
prone to hepatic diseases. This is due to consumption of junk food that
more often than not leads to obesity. The World health Organization
states that there are about 2.5 lakh patients who die of a hepatic
complication every year. Which means every fifth person in India suffers
from a hepatic disease. That's not all, out of a staggering number of
25,000 patients who require a transplant - only 5% patient actually get a
new organ.
The problem persists not just in India. More than half
of the patients that travel from Pakistan to India for medical
treatment come with a hepatic health issue like hepatitis B and C.
Congenital and hepatic diseases in kids and autoimmune diseases are two
other major reasons for patients to travel to India in the hope to get
the right treatment. Two major factors - no language barrier and smooth
connectivity are reasons behind more than 500 pakistanis have
successfully gotten a liver transplant done in India. Leading hospitals
like Apollo Hospitals, Fortis Healthcare and Max Healthcare are leading
in terms of medical tourism and top doctors in these hospitals are
enticing for potential patients in neighbouring countries like Pakistan.
With
the right diet and lifestyle it is possible to curb excessive hepatic
damage. Proper awareness of causes and symptoms of hepatic disease can
also help people get treatment before complete organ failure or
cirrhosis. Being the second largest organ in the body, the liver works
hard everyday. Make sure you take care of this vital part of your body
by having antioxidant-rich broccoli, sweet potatoes rich in Vitamin A,
Vitamin C rich lemons, apples, onions and even garlic.
