How common is liver disease?

My recent medical checkup showed some slightly elevated liver enzymes, and the doctor advised lifestyle changes. It's got me worried. How common is liver disease among people my age?

It is actually becoming quite common now due to fatty liver issues. When I visited my hepatologist at Max Hospital, he strongly advised getting an annual ultrasound and asking your doctor clearly about liver enzyme levels.

I ignored mild fatigue and heavy digestion for months, only to find out I had Grade 2 fatty liver. Please don't ignore these small signs; get a simple liver function test done to catch things early.

While looking up wellness stats, I read that non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) affects almost 1 in 3 adults in India. It is surprisingly common because of our modern, sedentary lifestyles and diet.

I read that liver issues are rising and got so anxious that I booked a full body checkup last week. It is fairly common, but knowing your numbers can really help ease the worry and keep you in control.

Liver issues have become very common nowadays. While drinking warm water with lemon and eating fresh home food keeps the liver clean, you must consult a doctor immediately if you notice yellowing eyes or severe abdominal pain.

Back in our days, liver issues were mostly linked to heavy drinking, but now fatty liver is common even in young vegetarians. Don't worry, a simple lifestyle correction and early diagnosis can easily reverse most early-stage liver issues.
