The liver can be damaged by various factors, such as viruses, chemical substances, medications, excessive alcohol consumption, obesity, etc. A person gets a liver disease regardless of their age, gender or social status; however, the liver is a very noble organ that continues to work even though two thirds of its volume is damaged and, in general, when it gets sick it gives few symptoms. The above might seem like an advantage, but in reality it is not because most people with liver disease do not realize that something is wrong until the damage is advanced. The causes of liver disease are very diverse, and range from embryological alterations (organ formation), metabolic (alteration in cellular function), infectious (damage by viruses, bacteria, parasites), deposits of toxic substances (excess copper, iron, fat), direct toxic damage to the cell by alcohol, solvents, drugs, etc. or the formation of tumors (benign or malignant). The treatment of a liver disease is very varied and depends on the specific type of disease. In certain cases, the liver can recover completely by simply removing the offending factor (medication, toxins, alcohol). However, other diseases require specific medications to treat infections caused by viruses or parasites, but when the disease is in a very advanced phase, with terminal liver function failure, a liver transplant is the only option. The most important thing is to talk about liver care and the complications that can be prevented, and to do so it is essential to know the functions that this organ performs, as well as to raise awareness among the population about the risk factors to which we are exposed and which cause liver diseases.
