Liver disease

What is Liver Disease?

Liver disease is a broad term that encompasses a range of conditions that affect the liver, including hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. Liver disease can be caused by a variety of factors, including viral infections, excessive alcohol consumption, and obesity. Symptoms of liver disease can include fatigue, abdominal pain, and yellowing of the skin and eyes. 

When is it necessary to see a doctor?

If you have symptoms such as fatigue, abdominal pain, or jaundice, it's important to see a doctor to determine the underlying cause of liver disease and receive appropriate treatment to prevent further damage to the liver. Treatment for liver disease may involve medications to manage symptoms and slow the progression of the disease, as well as lifestyle modifications such as avoiding alcohol and maintaining a healthy diet. In some cases, liver disease may require a liver transplant.
