Liver Diseases
The liver is the largest internal organ in the body. Liver is one of the only organs in the human body that can regenerate its own damaged tissues. However with repeated damage and constant injury the liver may fail to perform its functions leading to liver failure. Liver failure may sometimes even be fatal. Different types of liver disorders include hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver tumors, and liver abscess, etc major would be the two most common forms such as hepatitis and cirrhosis. Liver diseases may vary in causation. They are many different conditions that can affect the proper functioning of the liver. These are collectively known as hepatic diseases. Most liver diseases initially present with very few symptoms. The liver is a resilient organ, able to function even when damaged and also to regenerate itself. This may explain why it’s believed that a great deal of liver disease remains undiagnosed in the population as a whole. Liver disease can manifest in many different ways. Characteristic manifestations include jaundice, cholestasis, liver enlargement, portal hypertension, ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, and liver failure.
