Biopsy (tissue sampling)
These tests help determine if liver disease is present, how severe it is, and the best course of treatment.
What Causes Liver Disease in the First Place?
Liver disease can occur from many triggers:
Viral infections (hepatitis A, B, C)
Alcohol misuse
Fatty liver disease (linked to obesity and diabetes)
Autoimmune conditions
Genetic disorders
Toxins and drugs
Cancer
Understanding the cause is essential for treatment, and lifestyle changes can prevent progression in many cases.
Living With Liver Disease
Managing liver disease typically involves:
Healthy diet and weight management
Avoiding alcohol
Regular exercise
Medication for specific causes (like antivirals)
Monitoring and follow‑up care
When the liver is supported early, symptoms often improve and progression can slow. But once serious pain, swelling, or systemic symptoms appear, professional care is critical.
