Doctor explains in which cases fatty liver causes cancer 15:45

Both alcoholic and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease subtypes can increase the risk of developing cancer when liver function becomes permanently impaired (cirrhosis). Typically, this type of damage occurs when the liver is exposed to damaging factors for a long time. About this post Daily Mail It has been said British therapist Martin Skerr.

The doctor explained that there are two types of fatty liver disease. The first is associated with the accumulation of fat in the liver cells (hepatocytes). This disease is also known as steatotic liver disease, which is associated with metabolic dysfunction. People who develop it usually drink very little alcohol.

The second type, alcoholic liver disease (ALD), occurs under the influence of ethanol. ALD can manifest itself in several ways: steatosis (fat accumulation in hepatocytes), alcoholic hepatitis (precursor to cirrhosis), fibrosis (replacement of functional liver tissue with scar tissue) and liver cirrhosis (irreversible transformation of the normal structure of the organ due to fibrosis).

Both fatty liver diseases can lead to cirrhosis, which is the cause of cancer. However, liver cancer occurs when the organ is exposed to long-term destructive effects. When you quit drinking alcohol (in the case of ALD) or lose weight (in the case of steatotic liver disease), the liver begins a regeneration process that brings liver function closer to full recovery.

Earlier scientists offered Cure cancer by destroying senescent cells in the body.
