Multiple Organ Failure Diseases: Often when we are ill, we feel that only one part of the body has been affected. But science says that there are some diseases that can harm more than one organs of the body. The most sensitive among them are heart, liver and kidney. These three organs are similar to the "life support system" required for our body and the remaining two can also be affected if one gets spoiled.

Some diseases are systematic, that is, they do not stop just one place but spread the effect throughout the body. Which can spoil heart, liver and kidney simultaneously. Head Dr. Subhash Giri in the Department of Medicine at RML Hospital Has told about these diseases.

1. sepsis (sepsis)Sepsis is a serious infection that causes bacterial poison to spread in the body. This overseas the immune system and results in multi -organ failure. In this, the liver function starts falling, the kidney stops making urination, and the pumping of the heart becomes weak.

2 hepatorinal and cardiohepatic syndrome

When the liver has cirrhosis or any chronic disease, it affects the blood flow of the kidney - it is called hepatorenal syndrome. On the other hand, if the heart starts failing, then the liver starts swelling and malfunction, which is called cardiohepatic syndrome.

Why is multi -organ failure?

Dr. Giri says that the Kitin organs heart, liver and kidney, have a deep connection with each other. Heart pumps blood, which provides oxygen and nutrition to the liver and kidney. Liver cleanses blood and detoxes the body. Kidney extracts toxin and extra water.

When one organ is affected by a disease, it hinders the work of other organs. For example, if the heart is weak then the liver and kidney cannot get the right amount of blood, which increases their risk of failure.

Do not consume more medicines - Many medicines directly affect the liver and kidney.
