Founder Factors Asthma In Children
Asthma is a common disease in children. Incidence of asthma increased in almost all the world, both countries developed and developing countries including Indonesia. This increase was allegedly associated with an increase in the industry that high pollution levels.
Although based on clinical experience and research of asthma is a disease that is often found in children, but the clinical picture of asthma in children vary greatly, even the heavy-light-attack and often lack the attacks change from time to time. As a result of this disorder are not diagnosed or wrong diagnosis sometimes leading to treatment was not strong.
Generally characterized with clinical symptoms of shortness of breath and wheezing (breathing that sounds). Group of children who are reasonably suspected asthma children who showed a cough and / or wheezing that occur in episodic, likely at night / early morning, seasonal, after the event, as well as a history of asthma and atopy in patients and their families.
Is it asthma?
Based on the definition and clinical experience Scadding Godfrey, asthma in children is a disease characterized by wide variations in short periods of time than the resistance of air flow in the pulmonary respiratory tract manifests as recurrent attacks of coughing or wheezing separated by symptom-free intervals.
Change what’s happening on the network?
- Reduction in airway diameter
- Changes in respiratory muscle response
- Disturbances in the autonomic innervation of smooth muscle regulation respiratory
- Epithelial cell damage respiratory mucosa
Trigger factors of asthma in children:
- Emotional factors; emotional disturbances can cause constriction of respiratory tract
- Factors immunological / allergy; now has a lot of evidence that allergy is one of the important factors of asthma development. Atopy is a real risk factor that can cause asthma symptoms.
- Non-allergic factors; viral / bacterial and irritant substances / pollutants.
Heart Damage Process
Normal liver smooth and elastic to touch. When infected with the liver disease (eg Hepatitis C), the liver is inflamed. Liver cells begin to levels of alanine aminotransferase enzyme to remove the blood. With that your doctor can determine if your liver is damaged or not. When the enzyme concentration was higher than normal, a sign of a broken heart is to begin. If an illness develops liver changes and liver damage.
Fibrosis.
After swelling, the heart tries to improve the creation of a small bekasluk or rubbed on. This scar is called fibrosis, which inhibits the function of the liver. When damage during delivery is the scar formed and began to merge in the next step is called cirrhosis.
Liver cirrhosis.
Repeated large parts damaged liver can cause permanent and painful. The blood can not reach right into the damaged heart tissue. Heart began to shrink and harden. Cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis C is generally the same as alcohol consumption leads to excess.
The damaged liver function.
Deteriorate as cirrhosis of the liver can not filter pollutants, toxins and drugs in the blood. The liver was no longer capable of producing “clotting factors” to stop the bleeding. The organic liquid formed in the stomach and legs, bleeding in the intestine occurs frequently, and generally reduced mental function. At this stage, the liver transplant the only option.
Liver cancer.
Sometimes the damage to liver cells by changes of genes in cells that become cancerous, followed. Patients with chronic hepatitis C have a higher risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma, a type of tumor in the liver.
Prevention of heart damage
Liver cirrhosis can be halted and sometimes avoided. In patients with chronic hepatitis C is essential for further injury to the liver, where the prevention of Syros worse. Also, if you prevent hepatitis C patients with alcohol completely. Also do not drink alcohol with acetaminophen (drug content of headaches and flu), which together can cause conditions “fulminant hepatitis, which can cause liver damage in total.
