What is liver disease?
Liver disease is an umbrella term that refers to different conditions affecting the liver. This includes conditions like hepatitis, haemochromatosis, biliary tree conditions, and fatty liver disease.
There are several known risk factors for developing liver disease, including being overweight, having an untreated hepatitis infection, and alcohol misuse. Many liver diseases only show symptoms once cirrhosis (scarring) of the liver has already occurred.
