Death, also Google search, faggot

Bumping for interest. I drink way way too much (like 1.5-2 liters of Vodka in a session) and I want to know that too.

Why do you ask OP?

just google liver failure fucking fag

lmgtfy.com/?q=liver damage symptoms

It's common for severe alcoholics to develop hyperglycemia. The liver becomes so damaged that it stops producing insulin.

cuz im tired and dizzy like fuck all the time and i wonder if it has something to do with the fact i drink 2 liters of booze once a week

>what's google?

>hyperglycemia
Which leads to diabetes right?

It may well be the booze, I do exactly the same and feel damaged for the entire week. Then I do it again.

But it doesn't necessarily mean it's the liver (yet). Hangovers with that much alcohol last multiple days to a week

Fucking faggots, not OP but it may be nice to hear experiences from other anons who have liver issues. Alcoholic anons maybe. Google isn't the answer to everything!

Bumpity bump

>hopes that a website full of trolls will be helpful

i just hope its my brain damaged not liver , cuz liver is important

Had a friend in school.
he managed it to drink so much over the weekend to have yellow eyes on monday morning.
WTF

>Liver
>producing insuline

Cirrhosis is the condition ou might want to read about.

I'm actually amazed that I never had that on alcohol. On amphetamines tho..

Had someone drink a slab everyday for 40 years. She would drink 2L of water if morning and get the shakes. Then she would need a stubby to help her get thru, if she didn't her liver would collapse. Soon enuf, she didn't have a beer in he morning and died.

It¨s the pancreas that produce insulin idiot

any better idea ? its pointless to check symptoms of anything on wikipedia and shit , youll end up with a list from nothing to everything

Google it or call your Dr. You fucking moron.

suck a cluck

Moron, your brain is way more important than your liver.

Well, actually if that is what you think then your brain probably isn't that important.

sup op my liver is a little fucked aswell
guess thats what happens when you drink every weekend for several months
i sometimes take a 1-3 week break so the damage can be healed a little but idk if its serious enough to go to a doctor
since i've only felt liver discomfort maybe once or twice in my life

It's true faggot:

"Even in well-nourished people, alcohol can disturb blood sugar levels. Acute alcohol consumption, especially in combination with sugar, augments insulin secretion and causes temporary hypoglycemia (9). In addition, studies in healthy subjects (10) and insulin-dependent diabetics (3) have shown that acute alcohol consumption can impair the hormonal response to hypoglycemia."

Your story is bullshit.

Nausea/vomiting, jaundice

no , you cant live without liver
many people dont have brains or never use them and theyre fine

It takes a long time for liver failure OP, im sure youre fine. Ive been drinking for 10 years, heavily for 6 years. I was at the doctors the other day and everythings perfectly fine with me.

Hyper and hypo two different things.

Where does it says exactly that the liver produces insulin?

Unless they didn't do your bloodwork, I doubt that.

Yes alcoholism does damage the pancreas and leads to poorly regulated blood sugar levels.

It's common for cirrhosis of the liver to be accompanied by pancreatitis.

Just look up what the liver and the panaceas do. The livers job is blood filtration and the pancreas is part of the endocrine system.

That is true, you can't live without your liver, but you can get a transplant (although there are restrictions on the USA organ donor listings for addicts) Your brain is you, you can't get another one. But I'm sure you'd be perfectly fine if some bonehack took your brain out and threw it away.

Hay OP, 20 y/o with now high liver function.

Sometimes you get itching all over, and feel as if you have an itch on the inside of your abdominal cavity. jaundice, pull down your lower eyelids and see if its gettin yellow in thar, on the whites of the eyes.
Sometimes you can feel a minor ache where yer liver is located, right up under the ribcage on the right side.
If you press at an upward angle on the right side under the ribcage and it hurts, that's also an indicator.

Go get a blood panel done if you're concerned, dipshit.

Godspeed, don't fuck up your liver any more.

Unless you want to of course.

I have bad news...your brain is already severely damaged

Alcohol might hinder the effectiveness of insulin but it's still produced in the PANCREAS.

Blood work, urine test, cat scan and ultrasound. Nothing was wrong with me so i assume i hurt my back somehow. Pains getting better.

thats why i hope its not the liver hahahah

what about dizzyness and being tired ? its rather something else ?

It doesn't hinder its effectiveness, it hinders the amount produced. The protein itself still has the same capability.

Holy shit, just Google the symptoms of cirrhosis.

well thats just the thing. the liver is the most regenerative body organ in the human body. unfortunately it does this to well and when its ready to give up its usually to late. you need blood tests , preferably fasting lipids. pain can sometimes be a symptom but again ive nurse someone with end stage liver failure and he was saying that he was getting a random test done. there were no symptoms till 1 month after the blood test. thinks went down hill fast after that.

The liver metabolise dangerous substances (alcohol, toxins) and produce vital proteins such as clotting factors.. the kidneys filter the blood removing the slagg products of this metabolism

They could be the side effects of many things, including liver damage.
But since you're still drinking, who knows.

All I can say is go get a blood panel done if you're not sure.

TRUST ME, you'll feel a LOT better knowing for sure than not. I learned that the hard way.

So, go get a blood panel.

when you "google" any sickness it lists you 10 quardrillion of symptoms

Yes, the liver filters blood. It filters blood by metabolizing toxins in the blood. It's true that the liver also contributes to the production of clotting factors; organs tend to have multiple purposes.

Just because the kidneys also filter blood doesn't mean the liver cannot contribute to the process.

look its simple go to your gp request a full blood screen and that you arnt feel well and youve been heavily drinking. any tool with a phd with screen liver function. thank me later.

Oh boy, then do the next best thing and find a credible resource with a smaller list of symptoms.

he's too pusi to do that :((((((((((((

>he's too pusi to do that :((((((((((((
wow user

OP don't listen to this guy, he's either lying or incredibly lucky. Either way, his suggestion is incredibly irresponsible. Get yourself checked.

why lucky ? some people drink all the time and they live 80 years

Nigga, you just went full retard

>Also, implying that alcoholic anons know their shit.

>>Also, implying that alcoholic anons know their shit.
They often do. Also lots of fatfucks (maybe not the americunts) know exactly how metabolism works and how to eat healthy and everything. They just don't do it.

Exactly. they are lucky as they are stupid.
I'm not saying not to drink at all, but the kind of consuption OP is talking about is crazy retarded, like smoking and weighting 200 kilos. Some of those fatties and smokers live a long life, but many, many, many more don't.

bumping while I search it in my textbook

hahaha dumbass

but is that really too much alcohol i mean 2 liters of vodka weekly ? im half belarusian half polish so i should be immune to this kind of liver damage

my had used to have scars in his hands so there is that

excessive alcohol consumpion can cause hepatic steatosis, alcoholic hepatitis and hepatic cirrhosis.
hang on for symptoms...

Fellow alcofag already in mental shape, if it hurts a lot after you drink anything with alcohol in it, it's time to put the bottle down

as easy as that, really

Soberfag here.

If you have to ask yourself this fucking question, you may have a drinking problem.

Not that I expect you to change anything. You know where to go when you're ready. If I can get sober, so can you.

the only pain i feel after drinking is when i realize no matter how much i drink it wont bring me any friends nor make me happy

why? for trying to help or for trying to use a reliable souce?

hepatic crrosis: symptoms are often aspecific and include fever, mild pain in superior right abdominal quadrant, nausea, diarrhea, anorexia and general malaise. Rarer but more specific are ascitis, oedemas and gastrointestinal bleeding

sauce is Harrison Internal Medicine, 18th edition

It hurts and stuff.

epidemiologic tidbits. 90% of cronic drinkers has steatosis. Only about 20% of drinkers develop an alcoholic hepatitis; if cirrhosis is also present, mortality is 60% in 4 years.

ive read about cirrhosis and 75% symptoms apply to me
but you know whats the problem ? if i read about cancer , ebola , aids , gayness etc it would be the same , thats why better to ask some alive being than "google"

you seriously didnt notice that sarcasm?

wise words. have a liver.

and some cirrhosis, for good measure

Yellow skin

unless the liver problems are already severe, bloodwork is the tie-breaker during diagnosis.

i used to check my liver myself by pushing hands under ribs to check if both sides are the same and theres nothing strange eg feeling like theres some hard object or something , never found anything suspicious but seems like ive fucking broken my lower ribs

kek

/thread

Fuck that's how it looks?! Damn I should drink less and take more other drugs

>but seems like ive fucking broken my lower ribs
You're fucking serious? How hard did you push?!

I am wondering something like this too, i have gut problems for a long time now, basically diarrhea or constipation, often bloat, heavy feeling, weird small fragmented shits. My doc did bloodwork and the thing they do to pregnant women forgot it's name in english, basically he told me it was probably nothing too serious but he also told me my liver is a bit enlarged and he told me only to drink a glass of wine, right now i drink a few beers each night, 2-3 beers at about 5% alcohol or 1-2 glasses of wine, however i used to be really light weight and i was getting drunk from like 2 beers.

Also i used to do lots of drugs in my youth too so idk, my bloodwork is good though but my gut still feels like shit almost every day and i feel constantly tired and shit.

...

also had an alky classmate in highschool that would come in with yellow eyes. pretty sad actually.

kek at pic related

well i just push my fists there like i wanted to grab lungs or something since im not sure where liver is located , now those lower ribs are kinda separated from the ribcage but its fine

Not a full on alcoholic but this is 3rd week without touching it. Never thought I could do without it tbh felt I needed it for the buzz, needed it to get through work or when I needed confidence and needed it to sleep.
Felt so much better lately, no shakes no sleepless nights now and no more palpitations. Also back into getting in shape all good. Still fancy a drink every now and then tho.

great. do you plan on smoking them...

or injeting them?

I'm kinda in the same boat, I was drinking 2-3 bottles of vodka every 3-4 days for months and felt shit and anxious all the time. Then I totally stopped for a month and I'm better now.

I still like getting absolutely shitfaced and have crazy high tolerance, but I try to space it out more

Anyone who really want to quit should check out RR

rational.org/index.php?id=155

Yeah I smoke cigarettes as well, and I'm fully aware how shit it is. Been trying to get into vaping to stop (yeah yeah, mouth fedore) but didn't buy any yet.

>or injeting them?
Nope

More like snorting them. But all the good stuff is toxic to the body as well. At least it's not as bad as alcohol, which is a really shitty drug.

Sarcasm isn't easy to detect through text alone, and it doesn't come across as sarcasm, it just looks like idiocy.

Not to be that person, but the pancreas also has an exocrine function

Already got that covered: ()
>organs tend to have multiple purposes

beware, cocaine is even worse, and the problems come far quicker than with alcohol. Erectile disfunction, miocardial infarction, hypertension, kidney failure...

It starts with fatty liver
then goes to hepatitis
stage 3 is cirrhosis and death

about those organs : liver is a fucking powerplant of the body , if it stops working whole body is shut down and over

MODS?

Yeah I know that, have done way too much coke in my life. I did the worst thing and accompanied the coke with lots of alcohol, which you really shouldn't do at all.

I was talking more about amphetamine, psychedelics and MDMA. Although amphetamine isn't without long term physical & psychic damage either. There's no drugs without serious long term effects probably. Can't smoke week because I get anxious as fuck on it nowadays.

Bummer.

Dizzyness is something I get when I don't drink enough water. Now it's the first thing I do when dizzy,-even if it was something worse, drinking water is easy.
