Liver Disease in the UAE
Rates of liver disease are high in the region, but the risk can often be reduced with lifestyle changes.
Understanding Liver Disease
Liver disease refers to several conditions that can affect and damage your liver, such as non-alcohol fatty liver disease and hepatitis. If it isn’t treated, over time, liver disease can cause scarring (cirrhosis) and lead to serious complications.
Liver disease is often caused by being overweight or an undiagnosed infection. Fatty liver disease is more common in people who are diabetic or have high levels of cholesterol. In the UAE, due to the high number of people living with such lifestyle diseases, many adults are at risk of liver disease.
You can reduce the risk of many types of liver disease with lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy weight. Learn more about the causes and symptoms of liver disease, and what you can do to prevent it, here.
