Liver Disease
The liver is a crucial organ in your body, located on the right side, between your waist and armpit. It’s not only the largest organ, weighing between 1.4 and 1.6 kg, but also one of the hardest working.
Chronic liver disease is becoming a significant health concern around the world, affecting about 2.5% of the population. Each year, it leads to 2 million deaths, highlighting the importance of liver health.
The liver plays three vital roles:
- Detoxification: It filters toxins from your body.
- Synthesis: It produces important substances, like proteins and bile.
- Storage: It stores vitamins and nutrients your body needs.
What Is MASLD and MASH?
- Metabolic Dysfunction Associated Liver Disease (MASLD): Affects about 25% of people globally, with rates as high as 73% in those with type 2 diabetes.
- Metabolic Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH): Occurs in approximately 1.5 to 6.45% of the general population.
