Question: how does hdl cholesterol reduce the risk for heart disease?
Answer: experts believe hdl cholesterol may act in a variety of helpful ways that tend to reduce the risk for heart disease: hdl cholesterol scavenges and removes "bad" cholesterol. hdl cholesterol can detoxify ldl making it a less harmful form. hdl reduces reuses and recycles ldl cholesterol by transporting it to the liver where it can be reprocessed. hdl cholesterol acts as a maintenance crew for the inner walls of blood vessels (endothelium). damage to the endothelium is the first step in the process of atherosclerosis which causes heart attacks and strokes. hdl chemically scrubs the endothelium clean and keeps it healthy.

Question: can colas cause liver damage. i recently had what i thought was the flu. after several tests were done my liver numbers were in the 1500's. i don't drink alcohol often. someone had brought to my attention that drinking pepsi max can cause liver damage if consumed regularly. is this true?
Answer: hi as you can see down below its from the uk’s daiymail paper this peic below is just ths opener the rest your read from the link. drinking just two glasses of fruit juice or fizzy drink each day may cause long-term liver damage resulting in the need for a transplant according to new research published today. liver damage is usually associated with alcohol abuse but a new study has found that drinks with a high sugar content can cause a condition called fatty liver disease making them even more dangerous than alcohol abuse. israeli scientists found that people who drank a litre of high-sugar fizzy drinks or fresh fruit juice each day were five times more likely to develop fatty liver disease. read more: <link>#ixzz3ofuztznr just copy this link into google to the www. to open and read. should give the info you need. good luck

Question: daughter tested positive for mono. the only symptom is swollen lymph nodes in her neck. can she play soccer? . she has no fever no swollen spleen no sore throat no fatigue. dr left it up to us whether or not she should play! just want to hear other opinions.
Answer: mono can cause the liver and/or spleen to enlarge to the point that it is vulnerable to a blunt injury not uncommon in soccer. assuming that she does not have liver or spleen enlargement and her liver enzymes (a blood test) are normal she may be able to play. the doctor really should not have left it up to you. i agree. this is really a medical decision based on physical exam findings. mono can be mild. and mono can be very problematic so unfortunately without knowing the details of her particular case and of course those critical physical examination and lab findings you will need to put the ball back in the doctor's court to make this decision.

Question: what stage is cirrhosis of the liver when the person becomes delusional? . we just found out my son in law has cirrhosis of the liver. he is currently in the hospital and the doctors are running test. they will do a biopsy on monday if he does not have a fever. he is currently having periods of being delusional thinking various things are happening when nothing is going on. our daughter said this morning that he told the nurses "rats where running along the floor"
Answer: i am sorry for the illness of your brother-in-law. i do not know his medical history and i am not a doctor but i’ll try to provide you with some information as follows: the symptoms as you describe can occur at any stage of liver disease. but a diagnosis for the condition is not usually made until acute liver failure occurs. sometimes the symptoms appear even when liver disease has not been diagnosed; the condition is called hepatic encephalopathy. because the liver is damaged and cannot adequately remove toxins from the bloodstream the toxins build-up in the body causing confusion fatigue and sometimes hallucinations. hepatic encephalopathy can lead to mental deterioration personality changes coma and even death. but hepatic encephalopathy may also be reversible through treatments directed at removing the toxins and eliminating protein from the diet; patients with hepatic encephalopathy may experience delusions hallucinations or illusions. a delusion is a wrong fixed idea such as. “i’m the king of england. ” a hallucination occurs when a person perceives something through the senses where there is no actual stimulus. an example of a hallucination might be seeing rats running down a blank wall. an illusion is a sense oriented defect in which a stimulus is present but incorrectly identified by one of the senses. an example of an illusion might be seeing a crack in a wall and believing that it actually a trail of rats. summary: many times there are no overt symptoms of liver disease during the early stages of liver disease including cirrhosis. it is suspected that your brother-in-law may be in a more advanced stage of liver disease. your brother-in-law appears to be in an acute stage of liver disease that has resulted in toxin build-up within the body causing stage 3 hepatic encephalopathy. hepatic encephalopathy patients may have a reversal of this condition with efficient and timely medical treatment. unfortunately some hepatic encephalopathy patients do not respond to treatment and death may occur. i hope that this answer has been helpful and that you and your family remain well during this period of medical uncertainty.

Question: can i eat ghost peppers after gallbladder removal? . good morning. i am a huge fan of spicy foods and often eat ghost scorpion and carolina reaper peppers. i also like chilis and salsas spiced with pepper extracts. i found out recently that i have major gallstones and am going to have to have my gallbladder removed. after this procedure will it be safe to eat such foods? also are there any other medical concerns with large quantities of capsicum? . . thanks!
Answer: first off it's important to follow your doctor's order for diet progression after your surgery. there will likely be a progression to follow. it takes a while for the body to adjust to not having a gall bladder. fatty foods can be the most problematic since the gall bladder secretes bile to digest it (the liver takes over but it takes time). as for the spicy foods you mention you should be able to eat those again but be careful and give it time. spicy and fiber-rich foods too soon after surgery may cause digestion issues. check with your doctor or dietitian about how to gradually introduce those foods again. as for the capsicum check here for side effects. taking it in amounts typically found in food should be fine but large quantities may have adverse effects. good luck!

Question: how long should i continue taking acetaminophen if fever doesn't go down? . took expectorant that contained acetaminophen for severe congestion (no fever) for 2 1/2 days. third day i missed a dose and by evening had fever of 103. was prescribed antibiotic and am continuing expectorant. it's been 3 days temp. anywhere from 99. 9 to 101. 6. is it normal for a fever to persist this long?
Answer: to answer your question directly i would not take more than the maximum daily recommended dose of any product containing acetaminophen for more than several days. acetaminophen should be taken with caution especially by individuals who may drink alcohol or have any medical condition of the liver. treatment of a fever is directed at the cause of the infection. acetaminophen may be taken to reduce fevers of 103. degrees or less. a fever that is at least 103 degrees or last longer than 5 days should be evaluated by a medical professional s you have done. also it is helpful to keep in mind that the body’s temperature tends to rise during the evening and night hours. consuming plenty of fluids is also helpful in controlling the negative feelings associated with having a fever. typically a fever is a symptom of some underlying illness. a likely suspect may be a viral infection. was a diagnosis made for your condition? not all antibiotics are effective for all infections. antibiotic treatment must be tailored to the specific infection that it is intended to treat. besides congestion and fever your doctor most likely considered other symptoms before prescribing the antibiotic. it is reasonable to have seen some improvement in your overall medical condition within a few days of starting the antibiotic treatment. since this has not happened for you i recommend that you contact your doctor and notify them of your response to the acetaminophen and antibiotic treatment and stay well hydrated. a visit to the local hospital emergency room may be justified if you cannot reach your doctor or your condition worsens.

Question: what is safe to take for fever if you have cirrhosis. my husband is in stage 4 and has a fever what is safe for him to take?
Answer: after being diagnosed with cirrhosis the development of a fever can be a sign of liver complications and should be medically assessed. your physician should be consulted before taking any over the counter medications such as acetaminophen aspirin ibuprofen vitamins and other supplements. a good practice when first diagnosed is to put all the bottles of all the medications you take into a bag and take them with you to the doctor who manages your liver disease. include all over-the-counter medications supplements and herbal drugs as well as any prescriptions you take. individuals with cirrhosis get aches and pains and may develop a fever just like anybody else. clear treatment instructions should be obtained before these incidents occur. never start any new medications or supplements without first checking with your doctor. any time you are being prescribed a new medication make sure the doctor prescribing it is aware of your liver condition. most pain and anti-pyretic (fever reducers) drugs are metabolized by the liver. with cirrhosis the failing liver does not always break down these drugs which then may build up in the bloodstream to toxic levels. alcohol prescribed medications vitamins and over the counter medical remedies can cause further hepatic damage and should be taken only upon the approval of the doctor treating your cirrhosis.

Question: what if blood tests for gallbladder come back normal. have a few symptoms of gallbladder or gallstone problems - but blood tests on liver and pancreas came back normal. an ultra sound has been ordered - do normal blood tests mean no gallbladder trouble?
Answer: blood tests on the pancreas and liver can come back normal and there could still be gallbladder trouble. the blood tests just show that the potential problem with the gallbladder hasn't started effecting the other organs yet. this situation happened to me as well. the ultrasound should give you much more info. good luck!

Question: could i have gallstones in my liver. had my gallbladder removed about five months ago but still get pain in my right mid back/flank like i would get when a gallbladder attack was going to happen soon- wondering if there could be problems with my liver?
Answer: i'm sorry to hear you're going through this. it sounds painful! it probably would be a good idea to follow up with either the surgeon who performed the gallbladder removal or with your primary healthcare provider. there are several possible reasons why you're having the pain you describe -- among them is the normal healing process. nerves take time to wake up and when they do they can become very irritable and cause pain sensations. to your main question: it is not possible to get gallstones in your liver. gallstones can only occur within the gallbladder itself or within the duct of the gallbladder. there are no similar "stones" that form in the liver because the liver is simply made differently from the gallbladder. like i say it wouldn't hurt to have your symptoms checked out to make sure everything's healing properly. wishing you well!

Question: what are risk factors for gallstones?
Answer: a number of risk factors contribute to the formation of gallstones including genetics and gender (women are twice as likely as men to develop them). body weight is also a factor; the risk of gallstones is higher in people who are overweight and obese. diets that are high in fat and cholesterol and low in fiber appear to play a role. if you're overweight try to lose the extra weight; but do it gradually. there is a link between quick weight loss and gallstone formation. crash or "yo-yo" diets can cause the liver to release more cholesterol into the bile disrupting the normal balance of cholesterol and bile salts. that extra cholesterol can form into crystals leading to gallstones.

Question: what causes gallstones?
Answer: several factors may come together to create gallstones including: genetics (others in your family have had gallstones) body weight decreased motility (movement) of the gallbladder diet gallstones can form when there is an imbalance in the substances that make up bile. for instance cholesterol stones may develop as a result of too much cholesterol in the bile. another cause may be the inability of the gallbladder to empty properly. pigment stones are more common in people with certain medical conditions such as cirrhosis (a liver disease in which scar tissue replaces healthy liver tissue) or blood diseases such as sickle cell anemia.

Question: what are gallstones?
Answer: gallstones are pieces of solid material that form in the gallbladder. these stones develop because cholesterol and pigments in bile sometimes form hard particles. the two main types of gallstones are: cholesterol stones (approximately 80% of gallstone cases): these are usually yellow-green in color. pigment stones : these stones are smaller and darker and are made up of bilirubin.

Question: what are the risk factors for gallstones?
Answer: risk factors for getting gallstones include: obesity. this is one of the biggest risk factors. obesity can cause a rise in cholesterol and can also keep the gallbladder from emptying completely. estrogen. women who are pregnant or who take birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy have higher levels of estrogen. this can cause a rise in cholesterol as well as a reduction in gallbladder motility. ethnic background. certain ethnic groups including native americans and mexican-americans are more likely to develop gallstones. gender and age. gallstones are more common among women and among older people. cholesterol drugs. some cholesterol-lowering drugs increase the amount of cholesterol in bile which may increase the chances of developing cholesterol stones. diabetes. people with diabetes tend to have higher levels of triglycerides (a type of blood fat) which is a risk factor for gallstones. rapid weight loss. if a person loses weight too quickly his or her liver secretes extra cholesterol which may lead to gallstones. also fasting may cause the gallbladder to contract less.

Question: how can i prevent gallstones?
Answer: a sensible diet is the best way to prevent gallstones. avoid crash diets or a very low intake of calories (less than 800 calories daily). seek out good sources of fiber -- raw fruits and vegetables cooked dried beans and peas whole-grain cereals and bran for example -- and avoid eating too much fat. a high-fiber low-fat diet helps keep bile cholesterol in liquid form. however don't cut out fats abruptly or eliminate them altogether as too little fat can also result in gallstone formation. recent studies have found that moderate consumption of olive oil (about 2 tablespoons a day) may actually lower your chances of developing gallstones. an ingredient in olive oil evidently helps reduce cholesterol levels in the blood and gallbladder. researchers have found that the incidence of gallstones is relatively low among people who live in areas where olive oil consumption is high. studies suggest that lecithin -- a natural substance used as a thickener in ice cream mayonnaise and other foods -- may help prevent gallstones by keeping cholesterol from solidifying in the gallbladder. lecithin is found in a number of foods including soybeans oatmeal eggs milk peanuts cabbage and chocolate. even though most people get plenty of lecithin in their normal diet supplements are available in tablet or liquid form at health food shops and drugstores. take 500-1 000 milligrams daily or follow the instructions on the label. warning: over time large amounts of choline a chemical in lecithin could lead to liver problems or other complications. check with your doctor or nutritionist before taking lecithin supplements.

Question: what causes gallstones?
Answer: the primary function of the gallbladder is to store bile a brown or yellowish fluid that helps the body break down fatty food. when you eat a meal the gallbladder releases its stored bile into the cystic duct. from there the fluid passes through the common bile duct and into the small intestine to mix with food. chief among the ingredients of bile are cholesterol and bile acids. normally the concentration of bile acids is high enough to break down the cholesterol in the mixture and keep it in liquid form. however a diet high in fat can tip this delicate balance causing the liver to produce more cholesterol than the bile acids are able to handle. as a result some of this excess cholesterol begins to solidify into crystals which we call gallstones. about 80% of all gallstones are called cholesterol stones and are created this way. the remaining 20% consist of calcium mixed with the bile pigment bilirubin and are called pigment stones. gallstones can form even in people who eat properly. and as researchers have found a diet extremely low in fat can also contribute to gallstone formation: with little fatty food to digest the gallbladder is called into play less frequently than usual so the cholesterol has more time to solidify. other factors that can reduce activity in the gallbladder possibly leading to gallstone formation include cirrhosis the use of birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy and pregnancy. family history diabetes sudden weight loss and cholesterol drugs and older age can also increase risk for gallstones.

Question: can gallstones come back after gallbladder is removed. a friend of mine who has serious stomach issues. back at the begining of the year she had a couple or ercps and had some gallstones removed then they removed the gallbladder. she is now back in the hospital in serve pain. she is going in for another ercp they are saying gallstones have come back. is that possible?
Answer: after surgical removal of the gallbladder it is possible to have a retained or recurrent stone in a bile duct such as the common bile duct (cbd). the cbd carries bile from the liver and gallbladder to the small intestine. an ercp (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) procedure is commonly performed in the treatment of bile duct stones.
