 My name is Harshal Rajaykar. I am at Manipal Hospital Pune. I am the liver specialist here. So this year, every year, April 19th is celebrated as the World Liver Day. And this year, the World Health Organization has decided that the theme for this World Liver Day is going to keep your liver healthy and disease free. So what are the causes for liver diseases? There are multiple causes. Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C were amongst the common causes. Nowadays, alcoholic liver disease and fatty liver disease tend to be the most common causes of liver disease. There are also many other causes of liver diseases like autoimmune and metabolic, but we will get into that later. So how do you know that you have liver disease? The liver is a big organ. So until a lot of the liver gets damaged, there are no symptoms. So the bottom line is testing and screening is more important. So get yourself tested, find out you have your liver disease and once you find out that you have liver disease, then you can take appropriate action. Why do you need to test? Because the liver is such a big organ that until more than 75% liver gets damaged, you will not even know it. So the symptoms for liver disease include the aloneness of eyes that is called as jaundice or swelling of the feet, getting water in the abdomen, feeling tired. Alcohol itself is a big common cause of liver disease. The amount of alcohol that can cause liver disease varies and therefore, avoiding alcohol is good. The WHO has decided that any amount of alcohol can be damaged into the body. Now coming to fatty liver, fatty liver almost everyone has a fatty liver these days because of our lifestyle and diets. Do not ignore your fatty liver. In a certain number of people, this fatty liver can progress to permanent liver damage and this can be detrimental. A number of these people will end up needing a liver transplant. So get your liver tested and if anything is abnormal including a fatty liver or any blood pressure or normal, you should see a liver doctor and we are here to help you. Thank you.
