Best Doctors for Liver Disease in Bhopal

Liver disease comprises four different stages based on the severity and progression of the disease. It starts with the stage of hepatitis, a chronic inflammatory condition that is followed by fibrosis, a slow paced stiffening of the fibrous liver tissue. It later transforms into cirrhosis, a permanent scarring condition that progresses to liver failure. The early signs of the liver disease include stomach pain, nausea and fatigue. The late signs related to progression of liver disease include jaundice, dark colored urine, weight loss, nail deformities and other complications. There are various causative agents such as viral infections, prolonged alcohol consumption, toxins, fatty liver, and autoimmune conditions. The stages of liver disease can be identified with diagnostic investigations and imaging studies by a gastroenterologist or a hepatologist. The treatment is problem specific such as antivirals for viral infections, corticosteroids for autoimmune disorders and lifestyle changes for fatty liver.
