What is Liver Disease?

Liver disease encompasses a wide range of conditions affecting the liver, an essential organ for detoxifying the body, processing nutrients, and aiding in digestion. Common types of liver disease include cirrhosis, hepatitis, fatty liver disease, and liver cancer. Early diagnosis and tailored treatment plans are critical for managing liver disease effectively.

Common Causes of Liver Disease

Liver disease can result from various factors, including:

  • Viral Infections: Hepatitis A, B, and C are prime culprits.
  • Excessive Alcohol Consumption: Chronic alcohol abuse can lead to cirrhosis.
  • Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD): Often linked to obesity and metabolic syndrome.
  • Genetic Disorders: Conditions like hemochromatosis and Wilson's disease.
  • Autoimmune Diseases: Autoimmune hepatitis and primary biliary cholangitis.
  • Medications and Toxins: Overuse of certain drugs and exposure to harmful substances.

When to Seek Medical Help?

Prompt medical attention is crucial if you experience symptoms such as:

  • Persistent fatigue
  • Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)
  • Abdominal pain and swelling
  • Dark urine and pale stools
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Unexplained weight loss
