Is liver disease curable?

Answer 1

Any problem related to liver leads to a liver disease. All these conditions develop due to various reasons and can damage the liver and impact its functions. Some general symptoms of liver disease include yellow skin and eyes, dark urine, nausea, ongoing fatigue, itchy skin, vomiting etc.

Complete answer:
We are well aware that the liver plays a vital role in the human body from protein production and blood clotting to cholesterol, glucose and iron metabolism. There are various diseases and conditions that affect the liver for example the drugs like acetaminophen and acetaminophen combination medications like Vicodin and Norco and statins, cirrhosis, alcohol cause hepatitis A, B, C, D, E, infectious mononucleosis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and iron overload.

Treatment of the liver disease depends on the diagnosis. Some of the liver diseases could be treated by simply changing the lifestyle like prohibiting alcohol or losing weight while others may need medication or even surgery.

From the above discussion, we got to the point that most liver diseases are not curable but are somehow managed. However, there are some exceptions like a gallstone, hepatitis A, C and infectious mononucleosis.

Note: Diagnosis of liver disease is done through a blood test, imaging test and checking a tissue sample etc. Many liver diseases are chronic like cirrhosis which may not be cured till life but can be managed. A severe case may require changing all parts or parts of a liver. A liver transplant opts only when all other options have failed.
