    GlossaryLiver Disease (Liver Disorder)

    impairment of liver function or structure affecting overall health

    Liver disease, also known as hepatic disease or hepatopathy, refers to any condition that impairs the function or structure of the liver. This can include a wide range of disorders such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, fatty liver disease, and liver cancer. Symptoms may include jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), abdominal pain, and swelling. The liver is crucial for detoxifying the blood, producing vital proteins, and aiding in digestion, so any impairment can have significant health consequences.
