Liver damage happens in stages — and often without symptoms until it’s advanced.
Understanding these stages is key to early diagnosis and prevention:
1️⃣ Fatty Liver
Excess fat builds up in the liver. Common in people with insulin resistance, obesity, or high cholesterol. Usually reversible with lifestyle changes.
2️⃣ Liver inflammation
Inflammation begins to damage liver cells. Can be caused by fat, alcohol, viral infections, or autoimmune conditions.
3️⃣ Fibrosis
Scar tissue starts replacing healthy liver tissue. At this stage, damage may still be slowed or managed with proper care.
4️⃣ Cirrhosis
Severe scarring disrupts liver function. Complications like fluid retention, bleeding, or confusion may begin to appear.
5️⃣ Liver Failure
The liver loses its ability to perform essential functions. This stage is critical and requires urgent medical care.
6️⃣ Liver cancer
Ongoing liver inflammation, especially if there is fibrosis or cirrhosis can increase the risk of liver cancer
Early stages of liver damage often show no clear symptoms — but are manageable if detected in time.
