Liver Fibrosis Treatment Market
Liver fibrosis is the excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins including collagen that occurs in most types of chronic liver diseases. Advanced liver fibrosis results in cirrhosis, liver failure, and portal hypertension and often requires liver transplantation. Liver fibrosis is characterized by repeated or continuous damage to liver resulting in an abnormally large amount of scar tissue in the liver. Fibrosis does not show any symptoms, however severe scarring results into cirrhosis, which further leads to cause symptoms. To detect the severity of chronic liver disease, healthcare professionals conduct blood and imaging test, followed by liver biopsy, if required. In the possible treatment options for liver fibrosis, healthcare professionals focus on treating the cause, which often stops and slows down further scarring of liver and results in improvement of the condition. The possible treatment options for liver fibrosis include use of antiviral drugs, removal or dissolution of a blockage in the bile ducts, lifestyle changes such as lower consumption of alcohol, control regime for obesity and overweight, and controlling blood sugar & lipid levels in people with nonalcoholic fatty liver.
