What can cause Liver issues?
Liver disease can be inherited (genetic) or caused by a variety of factors that can cause damage to the liver, such as viruses, alcohol use and obesity.
Over time, conditions that damage the liver can lead to scarring (cirrhosis), which can lead to liver failure, a life-threatening condition. Early diagnosis and treatment may give the liver time to heal.
What are Liver Symptoms I should be aware of?
Liver disease doesn’t always cause noticeable signs and symptoms. If signs and symptoms of liver disease do occur, they may include:

- Dark urine colour
