Have you heard of Fatty Liver?

👩‍⚕️Gastroenterologists often see patients in consultation for abnormal liver function tests. Patients can be completely asymptomatic. Sometimes these abnormal liver numbers are picked up on yearly physical labs, or insurance physicals. One of the most common causes of abnormal liver function test is fat in the liver. Certainly, we know that alcohol puts fat in the liver. Some nonalcoholic reasons exist such as diabetes that is poorly controlled, hypercholesterolemia, or obesity.

🧑‍⚕️The problem is: fat can add up to scarring and scarring can add up to cirrhosis. Cirrhosis is a scarred liver that starts to fail to do its duties. The healthy liver should act as a filter for the blood that is capturing nutrients from our diet. In addition to absorbing nutritional elements of our diet, we also absorb the “not so good parts of our diet.”

👨‍⚕️The liver is the first to see all these chemicals and substances. If your liver becomes scarred due to years of excess fat deposits, your liver can stop acting as a proper filter for toxins. This can lead to all kinds of problems. Additionally, a scarred liver, or a cirrhotic liver, can stop to make the essential proteins you need to survive.

This is just one condition we treat.

💙 Your colon, also known as your large intestine, is a very important part of your digestive system. It is where water and minerals are reabsorbed and digestive waste is stored. The inner walls of the colon are lined with a thin layer of cells called mucosa. These cells are active in transporting the waste products from your small intestine all the way to your re**um. It is from these cells that growths called polyps can arise.
💙Some of these polyps can, after several years, become cancer of the colon and re**um called adenocarcinoma. As precancerous polyps grow and become cancerous, these tumors can invade the wall of the intestine and spread to other parts of the body. Often, these cancers can be present and you will not experience symptoms until the tumor is advanced. Some of these symptoms include changes in bowel habits, bleeding and abdominal pain.

There are alarming statistics surrounding colorectal cancer:
➡ It is the third-most common cause of cancer in the United States.
➡ It is the second-leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S.
➡ Men have a slightly higher risk of developing colon cancer than women.
➡ Black individuals and Native Americans have a higher incidence than White Americans.
➡ Colorectal cancer is most common in adults above the age of 50.
