Early Detection and Management of Liver Disease

The liver is a 'silent organ.' Even as damage progresses, there are no obvious symptoms in the early stage, so fatigue, loss of appetite, and weight loss are often dismissed as minor, and the disease is often discovered only after it has progressed to cirrhosis or liver cancer. Regular checkups are the most important way to protect liver health.2026-06-26

Liver Cancer: Key Questions
#liver cancer, #hepatocellular carcinoma, #cirrhosis, #hepatitis B, #hepatitis C, #hepatectomy, #liver transplantation, #Milan criteria, #ascites, #jaundice, #transarterial chemoembolization (TACE)
Liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) is a malignant tumor that develops from the cells that make up the liver. Because there are almost no symptoms in the early stage, it is often found incidentally during health checkups. Regular checkups are especially important for people with chronic liver disease caused by hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or alcohol-related liver disease. The treatment method and prognosis differ depending on each patient's condition, so please consult a medical specialist before making any decisions.2026-06-26

Viral Hepatitis
#hepatitis A, #hepatitis B, #hepatitis C, #antiviral drugs, #hepatitis vaccination
Viral hepatitis is a disease in which a harmful virus invades the liver, causing inflammation and destroying liver cells. The route of transmission and the treatment differ depending on the type of virus (hepatitis A, B, or C). Please do not judge your condition on your own; consult a gastroenterology specialist for accurate blood tests and treatment.2026-06-26
