DESCRIPTION:

The purpose of National Help Fight Liver Disease Month in Canada is to promote liver health and to reduce the incidence and impact of all liver disease.

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 forms world-wide are hepatitis A, B and C. Although hepatitis A and B can be prevented by vaccine, 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 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. If the liver is required to detoxify alcohol continuously, liver cells may be destroyed or altered resulting in fat deposits (fatty liver) and more seriously, either inflammation (alcoholic hepatitis) and/or permanent scarring (cirrhosis). Liver cancer can also result from alcohol induced liver disease.

Canadian health standards for alcohol consumption are:

10 drinks a week for women with no more than 2 drinks a day

15 drinks a week for men, with no more than 3 drinks a day.

Use this month long event to evaluate your own habits and take steps to minimize your risk of contracting liver disease.

The US version of this month occurs in October each year.
