The liver can be affected by various diseases, ranging from viral infections to chronic conditions. Some common liver diseases include:
Hepatitis:
Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver and can be caused by viruses (Hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E), alcohol, drugs, or autoimmune disorders.
Cirrhosis:
Cirrhosis is the scarring of the liver tissue, often a result of long-term liver damage from conditions like chronic hepatitis or Alcoholism.
Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD):
NAFLD is characterized by the accumulation of fat in the liver, not caused by alcohol consumption. It is associated with obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome.
Liver Cancer (Hepatocellular Carcinoma):
Liver cancer can arise from primary liver cells or as a result of metastasis from other cancer sites.
Liver Abscess:
A liver abscess is a localized collection of pus within the liver, often caused by bacterial infection.
Hemochromatosis:
Hemochromatosis is a genetic disorder that leads to excessive iron absorption, causing iron to accumulate in various organs, including the liver.
Wilson's Disease:
Wilson's disease is a rare genetic disorder that causes copper to accumulate in the liver and other organs, leading to damage.
Autoimmune Hepatitis:
Autoimmune hepatitis is a condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the liver, causing inflammation.
Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (PBC):
PBC is a chronic autoimmune disease that damages the bile ducts within the liver.
Gilbert's Syndrome:
Gilbert's syndrome is a genetic condition that affects bilirubin metabolism, leading to elevated bilirubin levels in the blood.
Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency:
This genetic disorder can result in a deficiency of a protein (alpha-1 antitrypsin) that protects the liver.
Hepatic Encephalopathy:
Hepatic encephalopathy is a complication of liver disease where toxins build up in the blood and affect brain function.
Alcoholic Liver Disease:
Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to alcoholic liver disease, which includes fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, and cirrhosis.
