Hepatic disorders

Hepatic disorders refer to problems affecting the liver, an essential organ that processes nutrients, detoxifies harmful substances, and produces vital proteins. Conditions include hepatitis (inflammation often caused by infections or toxins), fatty liver disease (accumulation of fat in liver cells), cirrhosis (scarring from long-term damage), and liver cancer. Symptoms may involve fatigue, jaundice (yellowing of skin and eyes), abdominal pain, and swelling. Many liver issues are linked to lifestyle factors like alcohol use, poor diet, or infections. Proper diagnosis and management are crucial to prevent liver failure and maintain overall health.
