Anyone can develop cirrhosis of the liver, but the following groups are particularly at risk:
Heavy alcohol consumption;
People with hepatitis B or C;
Patients with fatty liver disease;
People with metabolic or autoimmune liver diseases;
People who have been exposed to toxic chemicals for an extended period or who take medications that damage the liver.
How to protect your liver before it’s too late:
Reduce your alcohol consumption—or better yet, stop altogether.
Pay attention to a balanced diet: less saturated fat, more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
Exercise regularly and maintain a healthy weight.
Get vaccinated against hepatitis.
Have your liver function checked regularly if you are taking potentially toxic medications.
Conclusion:
Cirrhosis of the liver is not inevitable. It begins insidiously with subtle symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, difficulty concentrating, or swollen legs. These are the body’s first warning signals. Early detection opens up various options: lifestyle changes, treatment, and halting the progression of liver damage. If you feel stuck, don’t panic. Your liver may be trying to tell you something important. Listen to it before it’s too late.
