Liver Damage &amp; Its Impact | Dr. Rajiv Lochan | Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road

[Music] whatever uh injury happens to the liver or whatever chronic diseases affect the liver it results in three main changes in the liver one is fat accumulation in the liver which a lot of you are familiar with which is called fatty liver disease there is another thing which is called an inflammation of the liver or hepatitis that can also happen there is another thing which is called fibrosis which is when the liver becomes hard this is the precursor to curosis thankfully we have a test which is called a FiOS scan by which we can assess the hardness of the liver and this will help to identify fibrosis of the liver early so that we can at least identify the complications which occur because of fibrosis and maybe to an extent prevent curosis as well [Music]
