De"Liver"ance
Wednesday, September 27, 2023
Did you know one in three adults has fatty liver disease, known as silent liver disease? Initially, the disease often has no symptoms, but left untreated it can cause cirrhosis or increase the risk for other health problems. Most diagnoses are non-alcohol related, but it is a lifestyle-driven disease you can control. Learn how the liver is crucial to the digestive system, and how damage to the liver can affect overall digestive health, and what you can do for the health of your liver. Presented by Gastroenterologist Cameron Ditty, M.D., Firelands Physician Group.
