Liver Disease
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Liver disease includes different conditions that compromise the functioning of the liver, an organ key to purifying the blood, processing nutrients, and producing substances the body needs. It can have varied causes, from infections to metabolic or toxic factors.
Possible manifestations: tiredness, yellowing of the skin and eyes, abdominal discomfort, swelling, or changes in the color of urine and stool; in the early stages it may give no clear symptoms.
When is it worth checking? With unexplained fatigue, jaundice, or abdominal problems that do not ease, an evaluation helps in identifying the source.
Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist is the go-to professional for the study of the liver, and the pediatrician when it involves children. A timely evaluation makes it possible to understand the situation and provide proper follow-up.
