American Liver Foundation
In total, over 30 million Americans have some form of liver disease. Over 5.5 million people are living with chronic liver disease or cirrhosis, and approximately 20-30% of adults and 3-10% of children have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which can lead to a more serious liver disease called non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Unnervingly, approximately 4.4 million Americans are living with Hepatitis B or C and many of these individuals do not know they are infected. With the prevalence of liver disease in the U.S. alarmingly increasing, we need to work together to take action now!
Reversing Cirrhosis
In "Reversing Cirrhosis," author Susan Pryde chronicles her journey with cirrhosis of the liver, a life-changing diagnosis that left her with a sense of despair and uncertainty.
