Liver Disorders
Liver Disorders
Many liver diseases are associated with endocrine disorders, including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), autoimmune hepatitis and primary biliary cirrhosis. NAFLD is the most common liver disorder worldwide and its rising prevalence mirrors that of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Thyroid disorders are often associated with hepatic alterations. Chronic liver disease can impair menstruation and fertility. In addition, patients with diabetes have a higher prevalence of significant liver fibrosis and enhanced risk of disease progression to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Management of these disorders should consider the relationship between the liver and the endocrine system, in order to address all manifestations and complications.
