World Liver Day 2023: Fatty liver disease is slow poison, be alert if you see these symptoms

Liver disease: Liver-related diseases are increasing every year worldwide. Bad eating habits and bad lifestyles are one of the main reasons for diseases occurring in this organ. The report of the World Health Organization states that liver disease is becoming the third biggest cause of death after a heart attack and cancer. In India too, the patients of with liver disease are increasing every year. Every year about 5 lakh new cases of liver cirrhosis are coming into the country.

Out of every 10 lakh patients suffering from liver disease, 28 die. Liver cirrhosis ranks first among serious liver diseases. The biggest reason for this is the consumption of alcohol. After this is the number of fatty liver diseases. In India, 20 to 30 per cent of the population has become its victim.

Fatty liver problem is becoming fatal
Dr Subhashish Majumdar, Director of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Max Hospital Vaishali, says that fatty liver disease is increasing due to wrong eating habits. This problem is becoming quite common in cities. This disease occurs due to the accumulation of too much fat in the liver cell. If a person has more than five per cent fat on his liver, then his liver becomes fatty.

In most of cases, this disease occurs due to the consumption of alcohol. The matter of concern is that this problem is not detected for many years. Gradually this problem becomes liver cirrhosis and in many cases, patients also become victims of cancer. The liver gets damaged due to cirrhosis. In this case, a transplant may also be needed.

Malignant liver cancer
Doctors say that liver cancer is very dangerous. In many patients, it becomes difficult to identify this disease on time. Most of the patients also avoid getting cancer surgery. This often happens when the tumour becomes very large. However, due to some problems in the stomach, this disease can be easily identified. One of the major symptoms is prolonged pain in the stomach especially after eating.
