Abstract:
Clinically, chronic hepatitis B and C are the main common chronic liver diseases that lead to cirrhosis and liver cancer, followed by drug-induced liver injury, alcohol and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease, and autoimmune liver disease in adult, but, by contrast, some special liver diseases, including pregnancy-related liver disease, liver injury related to abnormal liver endocrine function, adult hereditary liver disease, and hepatitis caused by non-hepatotropic viruses are also gradually increasing. Early identification and diagnosis are the only accurate and timely manner treatment for these special liver diseases.
