Did you know that Biliary Atresia is the most common indication for liver transplant in children?
ALF, in partnership with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC), launched The Greatest Gift Initiative to raise awareness about lifesaving living-donor liver transplantation.
The first symptom of my liver disease was vomiting a large amount of blood. I was told I had end stage cirrhosis, when the day before I had no idea anything was wrong.
As incredible as it may seem in pure numbers, Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) affects up to 25% of people in the United States.
My name is Carolyn Evans and I was diagnosed with Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) in 1992.
NAFLD is the most common liver disease in the United States. It is thought to affect approximately 30 million people, 8.6 million of whom have the more severe form of the disease, NASH.
Fatty liver disease is when there is excess fat in the liver. This fat can be associated with inflammation or can just be isolated fat in the liver.
Patients share their feelings about living with the NASH.
