Liver fibrosis is a condition in which the liver becomes scarred. This scarring can be caused by a number of factors, including: 🔵 Alcohol abuse: Long-term alcohol abuse is a major cause of liver fibrosis. 🔵 Viral hepatitis: Hepatitis B and C can cause liver fibrosis over time. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD): NAFLD is a condition in which fat builds up in the liver. This can lead to liver fibrosis in some people. 🔵 Autoimmune hepatitis: This is an autoimmune disease that attacks the liver. It can cause liver fibrosis over time. 🔵 Metabolic syndrome: This condition is a group of risk factors that increase the chances of developing heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Metabolic syndrome can also increase the risk of liver fibrosis. 🌐 https://bit.ly/45ohDPp ☎️ Edinburg: 956-284-6353 ☎️ Brownsville: 956-468-3360 . . . #SouthTexasResearchInstitute #STRI #ClinicalTrials #Research #NASH #FattyLiver #MASLD #LiverAwareness #LiverDisease #LiverHealth #Wellness #Healthcare #HealthForAll
