The liver plays an important role in our digestive system as it filters all the toxins in our blood. Liver disease can be caused due to several reasons like viral infections, alcohol induced, or any underlying disease like auto immune disease and even certain medications. Basically there are four stages for the liver disease which includes hepatitis where it is a temporary damage and can be cured, hepatitis progress into fibrosis where scarring of the liver is formed and the function of the liver slowly goes down, later it develops as cirrhosis where the scarring will become permanent leading to liver failure. Patients with liver disease might present with abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, changes in the colour of the skin, weakness, ascites, swelling of feet and hands, and change in colour of stool. Diagnosis is made by basic blood investigations, which might include liver function tests and certain radiological investigations like ultrasound, CT abdomen, MRI, and even in some cases, a biopsy might be advised. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may also include antivirals, immunosuppressants and corticosteroids.
