Did you know that according to the American Liver Foundation, more than 100 million people in the U.S. have some form of liver disease, with 4.5 million adults diagnosed? Shockingly, many people are unaware of their condition. If left untreated, liver disease can lead to liver failure and liver cancer. In 2020, chronic liver disease was the 8th leading cause of death in the U.S. Your liver is a powerhouse, filtering all the blood in your body and breaking down toxic substances like alcohol and drugs. When it’s not working properly, your entire health is at risk. Liver failure can lead to serious complications such as infections, electrolyte imbalances, and bleeding. In cases of acute liver failure, a liver transplant might be the only option.
