National Help Fight Liver Disease Month in Canada aims to promote liver health and reduce the incidence and impact of all liver diseases.
The most common contributors to Liver disease are:
Viral hepatitis
Caused by viruses that attack the liver, viral hepatitis comes in many forms. The most common conditions are hepatitis A, B, and C. Although a vaccine can prevent hepatitis A and B, there is no vaccine for hepatitis C. In Canada, hepatitis C is the leading cause of liver transplants.
Obesity
The leading cause of liver disease in Canada is a fatty liver disease linked to obesity.
Alcohol
Factors such as gender, age, nationality, weight, and health can affect how a person's liver metabolizes alcohol. When the liver has too much alcohol to handle, normal liver function may be interrupted, leading to a chemical imbalance. Suppose the liver is required to detoxify alcohol continuously. In that case, liver cells may be destroyed or altered, resulting in fat deposits (fatty liver) and, more seriously, either inflammation (alcoholic hepatitis) or permanent scarring (cirrhosis). Liver cancer can also result from alcohol-induced liver disease.
Canadian health standards for alcohol consumption are:
Ten drinks a week for women with no more than two drinks a day.
Fifteen drinks a week for men, with no more than three drinks daily.
Use this month-long event to evaluate your habits and take steps to minimize your risk of contracting liver disease.
The US version of this month occurs in October each year.
