The liver and kidneys have difficulty recovering on their own once they are severely damaged, so transplant surgery may be needed. Because this is a very important, major operation, please consult a transplant specialist thoroughly and receive medical care.

Tongue Cancer

Tongue cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in the tongue and accounts for about 10 to 15% of all head and neck cancers. Because early symptoms resemble those of stomatitis (mouth sores), it is often left untreated and found late. Treatment outcomes tend to be better when the cancer is detected early, so if you have a sore on the tongue that does not heal or a lump you can feel, please consult a medical specialist without delay.

Rheumatic diseases involve dysregulation of the immune system and can make a person more vulnerable to infectious diseases. Immunosuppressive drugs used in treatment also increase the risk of infection. Vaccination is an effective way to help prevent infectious diseases, so please consult your doctor and receive vaccinations at the appropriate time.

Viral hepatitis is a disease in which a harmful virus invades the liver, causing inflammation and destroying liver cells.
