@LoriShemek 📣 Maintaining healthy blood sugar levels is crucial for optimal health. It helps burn fat, control appetite, boost brain function, and reduce the risk of chronic disease. Lifestyle choices play a key role: exercise, low-carb diet, anti-inflammatory foods #BloodSugarHealth

If possible, keep office meetings online to protect yourself and your colleagues from #coronavirus. When meeting in person, practice #COVID19 protective measures.
Today I was visited by a man who introduced himself as the cousin of a patient I treated in 2018.
The patient Satish, died of progressive liver failure under my care without a timely liver transplant. His wife did not match and his children were young and he did not receive an organ from the "deceased donor" pool in time. He died from multiple organ failure alone on the ventilator with only me and the ICU staff by his side, because his wife did not want the last memory of her husband to be one where he was hooked to machines and lines and deep in coma.
I remember him because his was one of the nightmarish cases I had to manage when I was just getting to learn the ropes on management of critically-ill liver disease patients. He was also one of the first of my patients whom I saw leave behind very little children and a deeply confused and grieving wife. I did not have the words to comfort them then. I did not know what loss meant and how to comfort meaningfully. We spoke through silence. I have learned how to communicate with the family when a patient was dying, by caring for many such patients & their families the hard way thereafter.
Initially, I thought his diagnosis was pretty straightforward - a case of severe alcohol-associated hepatitis - because Satish suffered from alcohol-use disorder and was a binge drinker [Binge drinking: if a woman has four or more drinks, or a man has five or more drinks, within about 2 hours].
But the way his disease progressed confused me. In matter of days, his jaundice was skyrocketing, bilirubin levels reaching upto 40mg/dl at one point. His fluid collection in the abdomen had to be drained multiple times in a week.
A risky liver biopsy was performed to confirm the diagnosis of alcohol-associated hepatitis, but the liver tissue under the microscope had another story to tell.
There were classical features of alcohol-related liver injury, but something sinister, that was not meant to be part of alcohol-liver injury stood out. Large areas of necrosis (complete loss of liver cells) with hemorrhage (or bloody areas) were unexpected. Large chunks of liver cells were lost, the viable liver cells were swollen and damaged.
There was something more, along with the alcohol that was eating up his liver from the inside.
Energy drinks. Caffeine and taurine based energy drinks. He used to mix alcohol with energy drinks and consume them. A few days before he developed liver disease, he had a binge session where he consumed large amounts of alcohol mixed with energy drinks.
Energy drinks independently, are rarely implicated in liver injury. But instances of severe liver injury leading to liver failure with consumption of large amounts (in healthy people) or modest amounts (in those with underlying diseases) of energy drinks are well documented.

The combination of energy drinks with alcohol is quite precarious. The damage caused by the combination and the chances of liver failure is more than noticed with either alone. In those with alcohol-use disorder and with binge alcohol use, energy drink use could lead to severe liver injury.

In fact, a rat study showed that when alcohol vs. energy drink vs. energy drink+alcohol was given to the small animals, severe liver injury and kidney injury occured the combination group.

An occasional energy drink use may not be associated with major adverse events, but the type of drink, contents, amount of specific substances such as high caffeine, presence of herbal ingredients and such could pose serious health risks. Beware of energy drinks containing "guarana" - it contains caffeine 4 to 6 times more than coffee beans. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that adolescents do not consume energy drinks.

@DrDeepakKrishn1 "Timely admission, persistence, and family support - Saved a life! 🙌❤️
Over the past three years, #COVID19 has caused us all great suffering and taught us many painful lessons. We owe it to those we have lost to learn those lessons, and to transform that suffering into meaningful and lasting change. If not now, when?
@DrDeepakKrishn1 💔Heartbreaking to hear. Sending love and strength to this young man and his family. Hoping for advancements in research and treatments for Friedreich's ataxia to offer hope and a brighter future. 🙏🏼❤️
@DrTedros 🎉Absolutely! 💪🏼💉 Vaccines have been vital in eradicating diseases like #smallpox and protecting us from deadly illnesses. Let's continue to trust science and invest in public health to keep us all healthy and safe! #VaccinesSaveLives 🙌🏼👏🏼
