Bile has an important role in the human digestive system, when hepatitis leads to poor bile secretion, the patient needs to take bile laxatives to improve the condition. In addition to prescribed western medicine, in traditional medicine, there are also male drugs that are diuretics that have a very good effect as well as ensure safety when used for a long time.
1. The role of bile in the body
Bile juice plays an important role in the gastric system because the chemical composition contains bile acids, bile pigments help emulsify fats, making the saponification reaction easy. Under the action of lipase enzyme from pancreatic juice, fats are broken down, fatty acids (products of lipid digestion) are released and absorbed into the body. In addition, bile also helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins and has a bacteriostatic effect.On the physiological mechanism of biliary and cholestasis: the liver will normally secrete about 0.7-1 liter of bile in 24 hours and the human bile salt requirement is about 8 g/day. The reason for the phenomenon of biliary drainage is because the acid chyme to the duodenum stimulates the smooth muscle in the bile ducts and intestines. The phenomenon of cholestasis is because bile salts stimulate hepatocytes, the liver excretes into the bile strong acids containing carbonyl and sulfonyl groups, increasing osmotic pressure, causing water absorption and secretion of bile.
2. What kind of diuretics are there?
In general, choleretic drugs can be divided into 2 types:
Water diuretics (secretin, parasympathomimetic drugs): increase the secretion of water and electrolytes of the biliary epithelium, causing increased secretion of dilute bile. True choleretic: has the effect of stimulating liver cells to increase bile secretion like physiological bile. If based on origin, choleretics can be divided into the following groups:
Choleretics of animal origin: are bile salts, bile acids or bile that have completely removed pigment and cholesterol such as Bilifluine preparations. Diuretic drugs of plant origin: such as turmeric, artichoke, boldo are often a combination of many medicinal plants. Synthetic diuretics: cyclovalon, Anetholtrithion
3. What should be noted when using diuretics?
Digestive drugs with general indications used to treat:
Digestive disorders: abdominal distension, flatulence, belching, nausea Support for treatment of constipation Contraindicated with diuretics for people with biliary obstruction and liver failure severe
Currently, there are many brand-name drugs that are used in combination to treat hepatitis, especially cholestatic hepatitis. Although it really has the effect of supporting the treatment of hepatitis, some notions that the drug can be used in all cases of hepatitis is not true. Since then, many people are not interested in the treatment of hepatitis B but only buy this type of medicine and take it regularly. It should be noted that there are many diuretics, but they need to be used correctly, some are used to support the treatment of hepatitis but should not be confused with specific drugs for hepatitis.
