Liver Fibrosis
Liver fibrosis is a condition characterized by the excessive accumulation of scar tissue in the liver. This scarring occurs as a response to liver damage caused by factors such as chronic alcohol consumption, viral hepatitis, or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Over time, the liver attempts to repair itself, leading to fibrosis, which can impair its function.
If left untreated, liver fibrosis can progress to more severe conditions, such as cirrhosis or liver failure. Early detection and management of the underlying causes are crucial to prevent further liver damage and improve overall health. Regular check-ups and lifestyle changes can help in managing this condition.
