Liver Diseases
The liver is a vital organ involved in metabolism, detoxification, and digestion. Liver diseases encompass a range of conditions like hepatitis, cirrhosis, fatty liver disease, and liver cancer. Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver and can be caused by viruses (hepatitis A, B, C, D, or E) or other factors such as alcohol abuse, medications, or autoimmune disorders. Cirrhosis is a late stage of fibrosis of the liver which is caused by chronic hepatitis, alcohol abuse, or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.Accumulation of fat in the liver is called Fatty Liver Disease. Liver cancer can either be primary liver cancer originating in the liver itself or it can be metastatic liver cancer spreading from other organs.
