Types of Liver Diseases

Alcoholic hepatitisSevere liver inflammation brought on by excessive alcohol use can lead to abrupt liver failure. Liver cirrhosis: This is brought on by long-term hepatitis and hepatitis infections, alcohol misuse, and obesity. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is brought on by an improper diet that causes the liver to become overly fat. If left untreated, this can result in heart attack, stroke, or liver cirrhosis. Abdominal pain, jaundice, rapidly developing ascites, and weight loss are some of the symptoms of liver cancer.

Liver cystsWhen the dead liver creates fluid-filled centers like cysts, problem occurs. There are no warning signs until the cysts become large and can cause pain and discomfort. Jaundice: The issue is caused due to obstruction of the biliary system caused by stones, cancer of the bile duct and pancreatic cancer. The condition is treatable if diagnosed at an early stage.

Autoimmune liver disease: Autoimmune Hepatitis, primary biliary cirrhosis, and primary sclerosing cholangitis are diseases that are when the immune system attacks certain parts of the body which eventually affects the liver.
