Can liver disease be cured?


Can liver disease be cured?

can be treated

liver disease cant be totallly cured
but it can be treated so it is not as bad.

Your question is very vague. Yes, SOME liver diseases can be cured (reversed) or kept from getting worse and therefore lived with. Some can be fixed with a transplant. It all depends on what type of liver disease you are speaking of and how advanced it is.

depends on what type of disease. usually most diseases of the liver cannot be cured but can be treated. In the case of a fatty liver it can be reversed with proper diet and exercise

It depends on what kind of liver disease and how far it's progressed, however, I would say yes to all. I have an "Incuriable Disease", that I recently found out has been CURED totally in thousands of people. It's finding the right doctor that has hit on it. Research and ask questions on Yahoo Answers. The right person just might see it and get you headed in the right direction. That's what I did and found a miracle!!!!

I am pretty sure it cant be cured, but it can be controlled to where u can live a normal and a high quality life.

Yes; The liver generally will heal its self over time. Some treatments can help but you better have a expert doctor as the average well intentioned doctor can make it worse. First and foremost, find what caused the damage and solve that problem FIRST. Most liver damage I have seen was caused by drugs. There are about 2000 prescription drugs that can cause sever liver damage. The worst drugs for this that I'm aware of are the Statin drugs such as Lipitor. Be sure to Google "Liver damage" and be prepared for a learning experience. If you know what caused the damage, Google it
using "(drug)-adverse effects" You may find up to 100,000 good quality papers about that drug and its problems. Please note that the FDA does not test drugs and never has tested drugs. The doctors seldom check out any drugs but rather rely on drug company reps for sales and use info.

Liver disease usually starts out as inflammation of the liver cells. This will
cause the liver to enlarge in size.
There are many causes of this: like
alcohol consumption, medication toxification, chemical exposure, fatty liver,
viral or bacterial hepatitis...like Hep A,B,C,
hereditary problems, autoimmune disease,
biliary obstruction or mal formation and
there are others.

If the cells of the liver just have inflammation inside of them and it is caused by something taken into the body...
stopping the cause (like the first four
mentioned in the list above...under doctor
supervision) and taking medication from the
doctor to reduce this inflammation...can
help these cells to heal.
However, if the inflammation is not treated
or the cause can not be reversed either
because the patient continues on with it or
it is a disease, then it can lead to the death of the liver cells and once this happens,
scar tissue forms inside the liver and blood
flow is hampered and then the disease will
progress and the only thing the doctor can
do then is to try and slow the progression down. So, in answer to your question:
it depends entirely on what caused the
disease, early detection of the disease,
and whether the cells of the liver have died
or not.

The liver is a very quiet organ in showing
any signs or symptoms until its function is
impaired. Therefore, it is very easy for
a patient to have a problem and not know it.
IT is good to have a simple blood test taken every so often just to check the liver enzymes and also the liver function.

I hope this information is of some help to you.

Here is a site that will explain the death of
the liver cells much better and the scarring also. This is known as cirrhosis:
