As the second-largest organ in your body, your liver carries out a number of important roles, including processing glucose, filtering blood, and bile production. Continuous damage to this vital organ may result in cirrhosis, which is where scar (fibrotic) tissue takes the place of healthy areas in your liver. A variety of factors and other liver conditions could lead to cirrhosis of the liver. One of these health concerns, known as fatty liver disease, affects approximately one out of every four people nationwide and is on the rise. Around 20 – 40% of people in the United States are living with a fatty liver. If ever you or a member of your family may be at an elevated risk for fatty liver disease, seeking the proper medical care could get you on the right path to treat the damage and improve your liver health. A gastrointestinal (GI) doctor is trained to diagnose and treat fatty liver disease. Reach out to a gastroenterologist at AV Clinic and Diabetes center to discover more about this serious yet preventable health condition.
