Liver Disease
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Liver disease, or hepatic disease, encompasses various conditions that affect the functioning of this organ, which is responsible for processing nutrients, filtering substances, and producing elements the body needs. It can develop gradually and, in the early stages, go unnoticed.
Common causes: Among the associated factors are viral infections, buildup of fat in the liver, excessive alcohol consumption, and exposure to certain substances.
Possible signs: When there are symptoms, they may include tiredness, yellowish coloring of the skin or eyes, discomfort on the right side of the abdomen, or swelling.
Who studies it? The radiologist assists with imaging studies that help explore the organ, as part of the evaluation coordinated by the treating physician. If you have persistent discomfort, the prudent thing is to seek a review to identify the cause.
