What are Liver-related Issues?
Liver-related issues include a wide range of conditions such as chronic hepatitis, fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, and acute or chronic liver failure. The liver plays a crucial role in digestion, detoxification, immunity, and metabolism. When liver damage becomes severe and irreversible, it can affect multiple body systems and become life-threatening.
Common symptoms of advanced liver disease may include:
In early stages, liver disease may be managed with medications and lifestyle modifications. However, when liver function declines significantly and complications increase, liver transplantation becomes the most effective and life-saving treatment option.
