Publisher's Synopsis
One of the main causes of death in the United States, liver disease ranks fourth as a killer of adults between the ages of 45 and 64. Unfortunately, without an annual blood test, it can proceed silently until the organ's capacity to function has been substantially damaged. When a diagnosis of liver disease is made, the road that lies ahead is foreign to most people and may seem daunting. To ease their journey, this book was designed as a guide to understanding the disease and its treatment alternatives.
This book describes the function of the liver and examines the different ways in which the liver can be harmed from alcohol misuse to overdosing on over-the-counter pain medicines. Knowing more about your liver also provides an overview of the type of care to expect from your healthcare team including tests, drugs, and more, and looks at the signs and symptoms of possible consequences.
Written clearly and appealingly, this book assists patients and their families to better understand what liver disease is and how it can be successfully treated. Most importantly, Know More About Your Liver also gives people the information they need to be active participants in their treatment.
