 Hi, I am Dr. Lohit Shetty Raju, consultant HVB and liver transplant, Manipura Hospital Bangalore. So today we are talking about liver diseases, which are the conditions which affect the liver. The most common condition are infections, which we commonly come across in our OPD. There are few viruses and parasites which infect the liver cause damage to the liver function. The most common ones are hepatitis A, hepatitis B and hepatitis C. There are some uncommon conditions which cause liver diseases like amoebic liver abscess, pyogenic liver abscess and some parasites. The second condition which damages the liver is genetics, where one abnormal or both abnormal genes are inherited from the parents. Some of the examples are hemochromatosis, Wilson's disease, half-hour antitropism deficiency. Coming to the third conditions, that is tumors or cancers which affect the liver. What we call is the liver cancer or the hepatitis cellular carcinoma and the tumor affects the bile ducts. It is called cholangio carcinoma or other benign conditions like liver adenoma, FNH that is focal nodular hyperplasia. The other common conditions are due to alcohol intake causing cirrhosis, which is the most common conditions where we come across in the OPD. Or liver damage secondary to drug intakes like Ayurvedic drugs or increased accidental poisoning like rat poison, paracetamol poisoning. The other category of liver diseases are autoimmune, where the body's immune cells affect the liver. Such conditions are like primary biliary cholangitis, primary sclerosis in cholangitis and autoimmune hepatitis. So these are the common diseases. Next disease which is also called as the next pandemic is obesity. Obesity affecting the liver disease which is also called as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis or NASH which is almost overtaking the alcoholic liver disease and is also called as the next most common cause of cirrhosis. Thank you.
