🛑 Did You Know? 🛑
The liver is one of the most vital organs in your body, but liver disease can creep up silently until it's too late. Let's break down the 4 stages of liver disease you need to know—and how you can protect yourself from serious damage!
1️⃣ Inflammation: The liver becomes swollen and inflamed, often with no symptoms. But over time, this can escalate.
2️⃣ Fibrosis: Scar tissue forms, limiting blood flow and liver function, yet the liver can still heal if caught early.
3️⃣ Cirrhosis: Extensive scarring, leading to irreversible damage. Symptoms like fatigue and jaundice may appear here.
4️⃣ End-Stage Liver Disease (ESLD): At this stage, a liver transplant may be the only solution.
The good news? Prevention and early intervention can help! By adopting a healthy lifestyle, reducing alcohol intake, and managing weight, you can protect your liver and even reverse early-stage damage.
