For those with any form of liver disease, this concise, practical
guide from a trusted expert will help you take care of your liver
and your health. Liver disease is a common cause of morbidity and
mortality all over the world-and it's on the rise. Approximately
3.3 million US adults are currently living with hepatitis B or C,
25% of whom will go on to develop cirrhosis, cancer, or liver
failure. More than 3 million new cases of fatty liver disease are
reported each year in the United States alone, and the prevalence
of this condition is increasing rapidly. Alcohol-related liver
disease has become a leading cause of preventable death in young
people. In Your Complete Guide to Liver Health, world-renowned
gastroenterologist and liver specialist Dr. Paul J. Thuluvath
reveals how everything from infections to the medications you take
to what you eat and drink can affect not only your liver but also
your overall health. Dr. Thuluvath teaches you all you need to know
about this vital organ, including * how your liver works * how to
prevent liver infections and disease * how diseases that affect the
liver, including cancer, liver failure, fatty liver, hepatitis, and
more, are diagnosed and treated * which foods, drinks, and
supplements to avoid * how you can take care of your liver and your
health for the rest of your life In each chapter of this
comprehensive yet concise book, Dr. Thuluvath explains in
easy-to-follow language how the liver is affected by the various
conditions covered, along with how each particular disease is
diagnosed and treated. Those with a liver disease need to take
special care not to cause additional damage to their liver-this
book shows you how.
