Preventing Acute Liver Failure
Simple preventive steps for acute liver failure include:
1. If you have already been affected by hepatitis virus or suffer from any chronic liver diseases, get vaccinated with hepatitis vaccine or an immunoglobulin shot.
2. If you are on medications, adhere to prescribed dosage.
3. If you take any herbal medicines, inform your doctor about it. Discuss if you can continue them with other prescription drugs.
4. Eat a healthy and balanced diet with lots of fruits and vegetables. Avoid fatty and spicy foods. Avoid eating wild mushroom.
5. Restrict alcohol intake, preferably two drinks for men and a single drink for women. If you are on acetaminophen (Tylenol), avoid alcohol completely.
6. Stop smoking.
7. Hepatitis spreads through contact with body fluids and blood. Seek counseling if you use drugs. Avoid sharing of needles. Use protection like condoms while having sex. Do not share toothbrushes or razor blades. If interested in tattoo or body piercings, insist on cleanliness and safe techniques.
8. Keep your skin covered with long-sleeved dress, gloves, hat, and mask while using sprays, paint, insecticides, fungicides, or other toxic substances.
9. Maintain a healthy weight. Exercise regularly as obesity often causes nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases like hepatitis, fatty liver, and cirrhosis.
Coping with Acute Liver Failure
Coping with a liver disease is difficult and stressful. Seek help of family, friends, and counseling groups. Have a positive outlook.
