The liver is an important and second-largest organ in the human body. The liver performs many important functions such as cleaning the blood, transmitting fat to other tissues, improving the digestive system, protecting the body from infection, removing toxins from the body, producing proteins, etc. If the liver is unhealthy, then you can become a victim of many serious diseases. The liver helps in the digestion of food and also removes waste material from the food. If there is an obstruction in performing these functions, it means that there are some kind of issues in the liver. Symptoms of liver disease are not visible as quickly, so do not ignore it, rather get diagnosis and treatment from a Gastroenterologist doctor. This is because if liver disease is complicated, it can lead to hepatitis, inflammation of the liver, liver cancer, etc. In today’s article, we are going to talk about liver disease in detail.
These figures are sufficient to tell the status of liver disease and it also indicates that if liver disease is not stopped in time, then the number of liver patients may increase in the coming few years. In such a situation, it is wise to get complete information about liver disease because if liver disease is not treated in time, then liver transplant is required in that situation.
Types of Liver Disease
There are mainly many types of liver diseases, some of which are as follows-
Liver Cancer
Liver cancer is a condition where the liver stops functioning properly due to the presence and growth of cancer cells in the liver.

Due to this, various cells passing through the bloodstream reach the liver, including cancer cells that develop into tumors.
Liver cirrhosis
Liver cirrhosis is a condition in which your liver gradually starts to deteriorate. Due to a fault, it does not work as before. If the liver cells are depleted, the fibers get produced in the cell and cause the problem of liver cirrhosis.
