Liver Disease

Lifestyle Modifications: For many liver diseases, including fatty liver disease and early-stage liver disease, lifestyle changes are crucial. These may include weight loss, adopting a healthy diet low in fat and sugar, limiting alcohol consumption, and regular exercise to improve liver function and overall health.

Medications: Depending on the underlying cause of liver disease, medications may be prescribed to manage symptoms, reduce inflammation, or slow disease progression. For example, antiviral medications are used to treat hepatitis B and C infections, while corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs may be prescribed for autoimmune liver diseases.

Procedures and Interventions:

In some cases, procedures may be necessary to treat complications of liver disease. These could include draining fluid buildup in the abdomen (ascites) or treating enlarged veins in the esophagus (varices) to prevent bleeding.

Liver Transplant: In severe cases where the liver is extensively damaged and cannot function adequately despite medical treatment, a liver transplant may be considered. This involves surgically replacing the diseased liver with a healthy donor liver.
