More information

 

Liver disease is on the increase in the UK. It can be a silent killer, with no symptoms until it is too late. It’s now the fifth largest cause of death and affects the health and wellbeing of many thousands more. The British Liver Trust is the national charity working to reduce the impact of liver disease in the UK through support, information and research. There are many causes of liver disease but there are three main threats to protect your liver against: alcohol, regularly drinking more than the recommended amount over a long period can damage your liver, fatty liver disease, fatty deposits can build up in your liver which can cause inflammation and scarring, viral hepatitis. Your liver works hard and can take a lot of abuse, but it is like an elastic band – it can only stretch so far before it breaks.
