An Introduction to Liver Disorders
Hepatology covers hepatitis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), cirrhosis and rarer conditions such as autoimmune and cholestatic liver diseases. Despite numerous advances, liver-related mortality has remained stable for over 30 years. The World Health Organization has set targets for hepatitis C elimination by 2030. Immunotherapy and combination therapies have greatly increased the efficacy of the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, as a result of the increasing prevalence of obesity, NAFLD is reaching epidemic proportions and poses a major challenge to global public health. There is an urgent need for long-term management strategies and pharmacological interventions for NAFLD.
