Liver disease
LIVER DISEASEThere are many diseases and disorders that can cause the liver to stop functioning properly. Some of the different causes of liver disease include viral infection, alcohol or other environmental toxins, autoimmune disease and genetics. These contributing factors can lead to a variety of types of liver disorders, such as hepatitis, fatty liver disease, alcoholic hepatitis, cancer or cirrhosis.The symptoms of liver disease can greatly decrease the quality of life for those afflicted and can even lead to death. Common symptoms can include abdominal pain, jaundice, digestive and metabolism problems, abnormal absorption of fats as well as nervous system disorders.In the United States, there are more than 38,000 deaths each year attributed to chronic liver disease or cirrhosis. Liver disease is generally managed by slowing down disease progression, for some types with lifestyle changes such as eliminating alcohol, improving diet and exercising regularly and in other cases with anti-viral or immunosuppressive medications.
