What is Intrinsic liver disease?

Intrinsic liver disease refers to liver damage that occurs within the liver itself (the liver cells or liver tissue are directly affected), rather than being caused by a problem outside the liver. Common causes of intrinsic liver disease include: Viral hepatitis (such as hepatitis B or C) – infections that inflame and damage liver cells Alcohol-related liver disease – damage from long-term heavy alcohol use Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD/NASH) – fat buildup and inflammation in the liver Autoimmune hepatitis – when the immune system attacks liver cells Drug- or toxin-induced liver injury – damage from certain medications, supplements, or chemicals Genetic liver disorders – such as hemochromatosis or Wilson disease Symptoms can include: Fatigue Loss of appetite Nausea Abdominal discomfort (especially on the right side) Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice) Dark urine or pale stools Swelling in the abdomen or legs in advanced cases Doctors usually diagnose intrinsic liver disease using blood tests (liver function tests), imaging (ultrasound/CT/MRI), and sometimes a liver biopsy. The term "intrinsic" is often used to distinguish liver problems from pre-hepatic causes (before the liver, such as blood disorders) and post-hepatic causes (after the liver, such as bile duct blockage).
