Liver disease is a common but serious disease, and many people may not realize that they are at high risk, and knowing which groups of people are susceptible to liver disease and taking preventive measures can effectively reduce the incidence of liver disease. Let's take a look at who is at risk of liver disease and the specific risks they face.
Hypertensive workers are one of the people with a high incidence of liver disease, and long-term work pressure and irregular daily life and rest will cause a great burden on the liver, and stress will cause the body to secrete more cortisol.
This hormone can cause disorders of liver fat metabolism to a certain extent, leading to the formation of fatty liver, such as a manager of an advertising agency, he faces huge work pressure every day, staying up late and working overtime is common, and long-term high-pressure life makes him have symptoms of fatigue and loss of appetite, and is finally diagnosed with fatty liver.
Alcoholics are also at high risk of liver disease, including alcoholic fatty liver disease, alcoholic hepatitis and cirrhosis, where the direct toxic effects of alcohol on liver cells and immune-mediated damage can lead to liver cell degeneration and necrosis, which can lead to liver fibrosis and even liver cancer.

Thirdly, people with obesity and metabolic syndrome are also susceptible to this disease, obesity can lead to insulin resistance, which not only increases the risk of diabetes, but also triggers non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
A young white-collar worker, due to long-term lack of exercise and unhealthy diet, rapid weight gain, abnormal liver function was found during physical examination, and was diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Fourth, people with chronic hepatitis B or C are at high risk of liver disease, and prolonged inflammatory reactions can lead to liver fibrosis and cirrhosis, and even liver cancer.
Fifth, a young woman who was infected with hepatitis B virus due to mother-to-child transmission and had no obvious symptoms, but her liver function was gradually deteriorating during regular check-ups, and she needed antiviral treatment to control the disease.
People who use drugs with toxic side effects to the liver for a long time also need to be alert to the risk of liver disease, and some drugs, such as certain antibiotics, anti-tuberculosis drugs, anti-epileptic drugs, etc., can cause damage to the liver if used for a long time.
A patient who had been taking anti-tuberculosis drugs for a long time developed symptoms of abnormal liver function during treatment, and the liver function was restored after the doctor adjusted the drugs and performed hepatoprotective treatment.
Through these examples, we can see that the high-risk groups for liver disease are not limited to a specific group of people, and many people may be at risk of liver disease due to lifestyle habits, occupational stress or health conditions.
Understanding your risk factors and taking proactive preventive measures, such as eating a healthy diet, exercising moderately, abstaining from alcohol, regular check-ups, and avoiding hepatotoxic medications, are key to protecting your liver health.
