LIVER DISEASE
AND HOW STEMCELLS-X CAN HELP
The liver is susceptible to a range of conditions that can compromise its function, from genetic disorders to damage caused by viruses, alcohol consumption, or obesity. Without timely and advanced care, liver damage can progress to scarring (cirrhosis), potentially leading to liver failure—a life-threatening condition. Early intervention with advanced therapies offers hope for reversing damage and restoring function.
Understanding Liver Disease
Chronic liver disease gradually damages liver tissue, often manifesting as cirrhosis or fibrosis and reducing the organ’s vital functions.
​
-
Cirrhosis: Scar tissue replaces healthy liver cells, obstructing blood flow and hindering nutrient, hormone, and toxin processing.
​
-
Fibrosis: Excess scar tissue emerges from infection, inflammation, or injury, limiting liver function and often progressing to cirrhosis.
​
-
Symptoms & Causes: Common signs include jaundice (yellowing skin/eyes), hair loss, and coughing up blood. Frequent causes range from alcohol abuse and hepatitis to extended use of certain medications.
To maintain liver health and prevent disease, focus on overall well-being by eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins, staying hydrated, and exercising regularly.
Limit alcohol intake and avoid exposure to harmful toxins, while also managing underlying health conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure. Adopting these healthy habits promotes long-term liver health and enhances overall vitality.
