Fatty liver disease increasingly becoming a reason for transplant

The Hindu  

Fatty liver disease that is left untreated and eventually leading to cirrhosis was increasingly becoming an important reason for people needing a liver transplantation, said doctors who spoke at the webinar organised by The Hindu as part of its Wellness Series on Sunday. In the webinar organised in collaboration with Naruvi Hospitals on the liver transplantation, Ashok Chacko, head of department, chair, Division of Medicine at the hospital, said fatty liver was becoming common among the Indian population due to lifestyle changes. “However, fatty liver is increasingly becoming a major reason for liver failure,” he said. Sanjay Govil, senior consultant, comprehensive liver care, hepato pancreato biliary and multi organ transplantation, Naruvi Hospitals, spoke on the advancements in transplant surgeries in the past two decades.
