The Advanced Stages – Liver Diseases
The Advanced Stages – Liver Diseases

Liver diseases are on the verge of becoming the next major lifestyle diseases after Diabetes.

Do You Know?
Liver disease may affect people of any age, although a majority of patients belong to the 40-60 years age group.

In our previous blog, we discussed that liver diseases are progressive in nature and how a healthy liver becomes fatty, then develops fibrosis ultimately leading to liver cirrhosis. In this blog, we are going to discuss the advanced stages that can threaten your life.

Let’s have a look at some stats & facts:

– As per WHO Statistics, Liver Disease is the 10th most common reason for deaths in India.
– In India, Liver Disease may affect everyone in 5 individuals.
– Every year nearly 10 lakh people are diagnosed with liver cirrhosis in India.
– Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is the second most common reason for mortality due to malignancy in the world.
– Liver Cirrhosis is the 14th foremost cause of death around the world.
– Liver disease may affect individuals of any age. People may even be born with the disease.
– You may also have liver disease with no specific symptoms.
– A person with advanced-stage liver disease may bleed or bruise easily. This is because a failing liver produces fewer blood clotting proteins.

Now let’s talk about the three of the advanced stage liver diseases:

End-stage liver disease:
ESLD includes liver cirrhosis patients with irreversible decompensation signs such as hepatic encephalopathy, variceal bleed, kidney impairment, ascites, lung issues. The only treatment option left for SLD patients is a liver transplant.

Do you know that 97 percent of liver transplants in North India are Living Donor types, and the rest are cadaver transplants?

Liver Cancer:
Cancer which originates in the liver is referred to as Primary Liver Cancer. If this cancer spreads to other body parts it becomes metastatic. Liver cancer is more common in men than in women. The primary risk factor is long-term infection with the Hepatitis B or C virus because hepatitis often leads to cirrhosis which ultimately develops into cancer.

Symptoms of liver cancer may include fatigue, bloating, loss of appetite, satiety feeling, vomiting, pain especially on the right side of the upper abdomen or back and shoulder, weight loss, weakness, fever, and jaundice. Any type of liver disease may progress to liver cancer.

Liver Failure:
Failure of the liver means, liver losing all its functions. Initial symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, fatigue, loss of appetite, and diarrhea. These symptoms coincide with several other common issues. As the situation progresses, symptoms become worse.

A person may become confused, disoriented, extremely sleepy with an increased risk of coma and death. Toxins back up in the brain of such patients causing a condition very similar to dementia. Liver failure is a life-threatening medical condition, with liver transplant being the only treatment option.

Do you know that a liver transplant is not a cure for liver diseases, sometimes the transplant can fail or the original disease may return.

Even a newly transplanted liver may contract liver diseases. Maintaining a healthy weight, eating low fat, low sugar, low rice- high fiber-diet, may keep liver diseases at bay.

Wound during physical activity

Recovery doesn’t mean slowing down. Staying active while recovering from an injury or managing a wound doesn’t have to be an impossible task. With the right products and strategies, you can keep moving while ensuring that your recovery stays on track.

Whether you’re returning to your workout routine after surgery, dealing with an orthopedic injury, or healing a wound, we’ve got you covered.  Let’s dive into how you can integrate orthopedic and wound care products into your active lifestyle to keep you on the move and in the game.

The hidden risks of being active during recovery

Exercise helps circulation and mental health, but certain movements can disrupt healing. 
For wounds, bending, twisting, or sweating can weaken dressings and delay recovery.

EXAMPLE

Imagine a wound that’s healing well, but every time you move, the bandage loosens or moisture from sweat causes irritation. That can delay healing, reopen a wound, or even introduce bacteria. Similarly, orthopedic injuries like fractures or sprains require careful management to avoid strain that hinders healing.

The first rule of staying active during recovery?

Keep wounds protected during physical activity. The right products will shield your injury from friction, dirt, and moisture while allowing the skin to breathe. Opt for dressings that stay secure, comfortable, and irritation-free.

Our top products for Active Healing

When it comes to active recovery, we understand that you need products that work with you, not against you. That’s why we recommend products designed for ultimate support and flexibility.

  • Velpore™, Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive Tape:
    Hypoallergenic and breathable, it keeps dressings in place during physical activity without skin irritation.
  • Velfix® T+Pad, Waterproof Dressing:
    Ideal for post-surgical recovery, this waterproof dressing provides a bacterial barrier while you stay active.
  • Velfix® -T Film, Transparent Dressing:
    Clear, waterproof, and flexible, it offers protection while maintaining full range of motion.

When dealing with an orthopedic injury, immobilization is essential—but that doesn’t mean you have to sit on the sidelines.  Whether it’s a sprain, strain, or fracture, finding the right orthopedic product can help ensure that your recovery stays on track, even as you navigate through your day-to-day activities.

Hygiene: Clean up after movement

Excess sweat and dirt can compromise wound care. Velfix® -T+Pad helps manage moisture and ensures easy post-workout cleaning, preventing infection while maintaining healing.

While staying active is crucial, some exercises may be more beneficial than others during recovery. Low-impact activities like walking, swimming, or cycling can promote healing without overstraining your injury.

Recognize when to pause

Pay attention to swelling, redness, or increased pain after activity. If these occur, rest and assess—early intervention ensures faster recovery.

Holistic Healing: Rest & Nutrition

Healing requires proper rest and nutrition. A balanced diet, hydration, and enough sleep support tissue repair and overall recovery. Include vitamins, protein, and antioxidants to aid healing. Stay active and heal efficiently by using the right wound care and orthopedic products. With proper protection, hygiene, and mindful activity, your recovery journey can stay on track.
