Ang liver o atay ang superhero ng inyong katawan! 🦸‍♂️ Ginagawa niya ang mahigit 500 na trabaho araw-araw para sa inyong kalusugan. Pero alam niyo ba kung gaano kaimportante ang pag-aalaga dito? 🤔

Ang liver ay:
• Naglilinis ng dugo laban sa mga lason 🩸
• Gumagawa ng bile para sa digestion
• Nag-iimbak ng energy para sa katawan 💪
• Tumutulong sa blood clotting

23/08/2025

Naranasan mo na ba ang mga sintomas na ito? 🚨
Baka sinasabi ng inyong liver na kailangan na niya ng tulong!

React kung naranasan mo na:
🤒 - Palaging pagod kahit sapat ang tulog
🟡 - Paninilaw ng mata o balat
😵 - Pananakit ng bandang kanang parte ng tiyan
🤢 - Walang gana kumain nang matagal
💧 - Pamamaga ng paa o tiyan

Kung naranasan mo ang ilan sa mga ito, mabuti nang magpakonsulta na! Hindi ibig sabihin na may malubhang sakit ka, pero mas mabuti nang sigurado. 💙

Totoo ba o hindi? 🤔

Subukin natin ang inyong kaalaman tungkol sa Hepatitis!

"Nakakahawa ang Hepatitis B sa pamamagitan ng yakap at pagkain sa iisang plato."
✅ - TOTOO
❌ - HINDI TOTOO

Answer:

❌ HINDI TOTOO! Ang Hepatitis B ay hindi nakakahawa sa pamamagitan ng:
• Yakap, halik sa pisngi, o hawak kamay
• Pagkain sa iisang plato
• Pag-ubo o pagbahing
• Paggamit ng parehong CR

Nakakahawa lang ang Hepatitis B sa:
• Dugo at body fluids
• Unprotected s*x
• Paggamit ng dirty needles
• Mula sa nanay na may Hepatitis B papunta sa sanggol

Last Saturday, I had the pleasure of sharing my experience and expertise in performing liver ultrasound with my fellow gastroenterologists. This was held at St. Lukes Medical Center in BGC.

Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is becoming a foundational tool that every clinician especially gastroenterologists should be proficient in. It supports more timely and accurate decision-making, enabling us to provide better patient care. This skill also enhances collaboration with other physicians involved in our patients’ treatment.

Congratulations to the organizers for initiating this event to further enhance gastrointestinal diseases management.

Early screening is key 🔑

People under age 50 have been appearing increasingly at doctors’ offices in the past few decades, complaining of blood in their stool, abdominal trouble or unexplained weight loss.

The diagnosis: colorectal cancer. And by that time, it was often too late.

But that paradigm is finally starting to shift, at least for patients in their 40s.

There has been a jump in people aged 45 to 49 getting screened for colorectal cancer, after recent medical guidelines lowered the screening age for those at average risk.

As a result, the disease is being caught sooner, when it is more curable and the treatment is less grueling, according to new research from the American Cancer Society.

New cases of liver cancer—the sixth most common form of the disease—will rise to 1.52 million a year from 870,000 if current trends continue, according to data from the Global Cancer Observatory published in the Lancet medical journal.

It is also the third deadliest of all cancers, with the study predicting it would take 1.37 million lives by the middle of the century.
However three out of five cases of liver cancer could be prevented, the international team of experts said.

The risk factors are drinking alcohol, viral hepatitis and a build-up of fat in the liver linked to obesity called MASLD, which was previously known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. |
