Patient's question:
Feeling discomfort in the liver area, dull pain, general fatigue, weakness, decreased appetiteDoctor's answer:
It is viral liver disease, including hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E, with hepatitis B being the most prevalent. Statistics show that there are 120 million hepatitis B patients and carriers in China. Next is fatty liver disease (including alcoholic and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease), primarily caused by long-term heavy drinking or obesity. The incidence rate in urban areas has reached 8-10% of the total population. Other types of liver disease include autoimmune liver disease, metabolic and congenital liver disease, and parasitic liver disease. Their common feature is that the vast majority of liver diseases progress to the end stage, leading to cirrhosis, and even liver cancer. When patients face liver disease interference, we should actively adopt treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention.
