Impact story by Neil Guha
Deaths from #LiverDisease in the UK continue to rise. In the majority of patients, liver disease is preventable and caused by lifestyle-related risk factors such as excessive alcohol use, type 2 #diabetes and #obesity.
In the UK, 50% of patients are first diagnosed with liver disease following an emergency admission to hospital with complications from liver failure. These patients have a reduced quality of life, a short life expectancy and expensive associated healthcare costs.
