Liver


The liver is an organ about the size of a football. It sits just under your rib cage on the right side of your abdomen. The liver is essential for digesting food and ridding your body of toxic substances. Liver disease can be inherited (genetic).

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): GERD is a persistent digestive condition characterized by the backflow of stomach liquid into the esophagus, the tube connecting the mouth and stomach. Common symptoms include heartburn, regurgitation, and an acidic taste in the mouth. Less frequent symptoms may include a sore throat, pain while swallowing, increased salivation, nausea, chest pain, and coughing. If symptoms persist, further treatments and endoscopic evaluation may be recommended. Our hospital boasts top-tier gastroenterologists specializing in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux.

Cirrhosis: Cirrhosis is a degenerative liver condition leading to scarring and liver failure. Typically asymptomatic in the early stages, symptoms manifest in advanced liver damage. As existing liver scarring is irreversible, treatment focuses on symptom management and preventing further liver damage.

Fatty Liver Disease: Fatty Liver Disease, or hepatic steatosis, involves the accumulation of excess fat in the liver, causing inflammation and potential scarring. Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (AFLD) results from excessive alcohol consumption, while Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) occurs without significant alcohol intake. In many cases, fatty liver presents with no apparent symptoms, but fatigue or discomfort in the upper right abdomen may occur. Early treatment involves lifestyle changes to improve liver health, potentially reversing damage in the initial stages.

Hepatitis: Hepatitis is an inflammatory liver disease, often viral in origin but with various potential causes, including autoimmune responses, drugs, alcohol, and toxins. The five major viral classifications are Hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. Autoimmune hepatitis involves the body producing antibodies against liver tissue. Treatment varies based on hepatitis type, whether the infection is acute or chronic. Timely vaccinations and minimizing exposure to substances containing hepatitis viruses are preventive measures recommended by healthcare professionals.
