The body constantly gives us feedback: when something goes wrong, we get signals in the form of pain. But there is one very important body that refuses to “dialogue”, even if the burden on it is too great. This often happens when we start a relentless struggle with excess weight. As a result, the liver suffers.
We asked Lyra Gapktyvaeva, an endocrinologist, nutritionist, member of the Russian Association of Endocrinologists (RAE) and the National Association of Clinical Nutrition (NACP), about where to find out if everything is OK with liver function, what is the danger of a sharp weight loss and how to choose a drug that will help improve well-being and metabolism. We give the floor to the doctor.
The liver does not hurt, because there are no pain receptors in the hepatocytes. In some cases – with an increase in the size of the liver and the tension of the capsule – discomfort may occur. Severity and dull pain in the right hypochondrium accompany the pathology of the gallbladder (inflections of the gallbladder with a violation of the outflow of bile, gallstones, etc.).
When the membranes are destroyed, and the cellular “power plants” fail
About the violation of liver function, you can learn from the results of the examination, when the level of liver enzymes ALT, AST, GGT increases in the blood serum, we also see ultrasound signs of liver damage from fat transformation and increase in size before the development of fibrosis in the future with the transition to cirrhosis, while clinically the liver may not manifest itself in any way.
In the case of fatty liver damage, fat molecules fill the space inside the liver cells, as a result of which their functions and vital functions are disrupted. The organelles of the cells begin to work incorrectly. In particular, the mitochondria, the” electrical stations of cells, ” produce insufficient energy for the normal functioning of the liver.
Nitrogen balance plays an important role in detoxification. With severe physical exertion, a sharp weight loss, an increase in the diet of foods rich in protein, the load on kidney function increases, the level of toxic ammonia in the blood increases, which negatively affects performance and is one of the factors of destruction of cell membranes.
In case of violation of liver detoxification, it is important to pay attention to non-specific complaints, about which our liver is often silent:
- chronic fatigue,
- nausea,
- weakness,
- itchy skin,
- skin rashes,
- white coating on the tongue,
- edema,
- insomnia,
- changes in the color and smell of urine, etc.
You can check the liver function in just 40 seconds on the website testpecheni. rf
I passed it myself, and the result upset me somewhat. Apparently, I should pay attention to the liver and think about the course of the drug Hepa-Merz.
More than detox: choosing a drug that will help the liver
I would like to introduce you to the over-the-counter drug Hepa-Merc, tell you about how the drug works, how it differs from other drugs for the treatment of the liver and in which cases it is worth making a choice in favor of this drug.
Hepa-Merc is a drug that is used to detoxify and restore the liver. The composition of Hepa-Merc includes two natural amino acids for the body L-ornithine and L-aspartate, which have a complex effect on the liver and metabolism and contribute to the maintenance of liver health and its normal function.
Hepa-Merz in granules helps to cleanse the body of toxins( ammonia), improve the general condition and cognitive functions. The drug begins to act 25 minutes after taking it, and after 10 days, with some diagnoses, you can see positive results.

- Increases concentration and attention at work and when driving a car;
- The feeling of fatigue and increased irritability disappears;
- Sleep is normalized;
- Body weight is normalized (with steatosis and steatohepatitis);
- The production of insulin and somatotropic hormone is normalized;
- Improves protein metabolism;
- Normalize the indicators of the liver in the tests (ALT, AST, GGTP);
- Unpleasant symptoms go away: heaviness, unpleasant sensations in the right side and / or in the abdomen.
The dose of the drug and the course of administration is prescribed by the attending physician.
