The liver is a key organ in metabolic processes related to fats, proteins and carbohydrates. A diseased liver can be completely normal: it is only 20-30% healthy and can function normally. In addition, hepatocytes are capable of regenerating the liver to its normal size in the event of partial removal, so that once this is achieved, they stop reproducing. However, despite its regenerative capacity and its great functional capacity, liver disease limits or nullifies this regenerative and functional capacity.
It must be taken into account that almost all amino acids are degraded in the liver and that, in addition, it intervenes in the metabolism of lipids, vitamins and trace elements. The liver is an extremely important player in the immune system, both as a barrier and as a detoxifier.
Diagnosis is often complicated due to the liver's high resistance, functionality and symptoms, which is why problems are often detected in advanced stages.
Liver diseases can be divided into two types:
- Acute: these are potentially reversible and occur in a short period of time
- Chronic: unfortunately, they are irreversible. They appear in patients with a previous liver disease and produce inflammatory and necrotic changes that lead to organ failure.
HC may be due to a genetic predisposition, as is the case with Dobermans and some Terriers, with a high presence of copper in the organ. Other causes may be infectious processes, medications or idiopathic.
Nutritional management consists mainly of limiting liver breakdown. The intake of non-protein calories is very important, which limit the effort and capacity of the organ, and intake through fats is recommended. Fat restriction should only occur when there is evidence of poor lipid absorption.
The use of highly digestible proteins, such as dehydrated chicken, chicken hydrolysate, corn gluten, etc. are among the most recommended, due to their digestibility and amino acid profile, as we saw above. The volume of fibers, vitamins of group B, C and E must also be adjusted, being especially recommended the use of ingredients with choleretic and antioxidant action to prevent oxidation and alleviate liver disease.
The organism is especially delicate in these patients who tend to be underweight, malnourished and even anorexia. Thus, probiotic supplementation is related, indirectly, through the benefits in assimilation of nutrients necessary for the maintenance of the organism, among other benefits such as the modification of ammonia production, benefits in hepatic encephalopathy, etc.
