L liver disease

Liver disease affecting the left side of the liver (L liver disease) involves damage or dysfunction in that specific region, which can impair the liver’s ability to filter toxins, produce vital proteins, and support digestion. Causes include infections, alcohol use, fatty liver, or tumors. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, swelling, jaundice (yellowing skin), fatigue, and weakness. Since the liver has a remarkable capacity to recover, early diagnosis and management are important. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may involve medications, lifestyle changes, or, in severe cases, surgery. A healthcare professional is essential for proper assessment and care.
