Chronic liver disease (CLD) refers to a gradual loss of liver tissues over time. This group of liver conditions includes fibrosis and cirrhosis of the liver. It covers a diverse range of liver pathologies, such as hepatocellular carcinoma and inflammation. The signs and symptoms of CLD include exhaustion and weakness, yellowing of the skin, weight loss, vomiting, etc. Sharing contaminated syringes and needles, being overweight, taking certain prescription drugs, and drinking excessive alcohol are some of the risk factors of CLD. Its diagnosis is done by liver biopsy, blood tests and imaging techniques. Cirrhosis treatment is determined by the cause and severity of liver damage. Treatment options for cirrhosis include weight loss, treatment for excessive alcohol dependency and medications to treat hepatitis. The topics covered in this extensive book deal with the core causes, evaluation and upcoming therapeutic techniques associated with chronic liver disease. It will help new researchers by foregrounding their knowledge in this condition.
