| Summary: | : Schizophrenia is a chronic psychotic disorder characterised by
severely impaired behaviors, thinking, and emotion. Patients with
schizophrenia are closely related to chronic liver disease. The prevalence of
chronic liver disease in patients with schizophrenia (7.0%) was 1.27 times as
high as that of the general population (6.1%). This is due to many reasons
such as metabolic syndrome, effects of antipsychotic drugs, alcohol
consumption and smoking. Objectives: The objectives of this review paper
are to discuss about the common terms related to chronic liver disease and
the relationship between chronic liver disease and schizophrenia. Discussion:
Chronic liver disease is divided into few types like non-alcoholic fatty liver
disease, hepatitis, cirrhosis and many more. The types depend on the
aetiology of the disease. There are specific mechanisms on how the
schizophrenia and chronic liver disease are related to each other. Conclusion:
In conclusion, metabolic syndrome, the usage of antipsychotics drug, alcohol
consumption and smoking are the main factors that can lead to chronic liver
disease in schizophrenia patients. It is important to make all people related
with this disorder to understand the mechanism, which may help
schizophrenia patients to prevent from the liver disease. |
