“Acute and chronic liver failure happen in different ways, but they’re both due to overwhelming stress on your liver.  “Liver disease” is a broad term for any condition that damages your liver and affects how it works. Some of the conditions are common, while others aren’t. They can all range from mild to life-threatening. Some types develop slowly over time, while others happen more quickly.

Your liver plays an important role in your body. It helps clean your blood, process nutrients and fight off infections. When it’s damaged, it can’t perform these jobs well. Over time, liver disease can lead to many dangerous conditions!”
