A Healthy Liver. A Hepatologist on What Destroys the Liver and How to Deal with It

The liver is the largest internal organ and has a unique ability to regenerate its cells—just 25% of the original tissue is enough.

Interestingly, after partial liver donation, the donor’s organ fully restores itself within two weeks. But how can you prevent the need for a liver transplant? This is what gastroenterologist and hepatologist Maria Prashnova will tell you.

The book covers both common liver diseases (hepatitis, cirrhosis, fatty liver disease, tumors) and lesser-known conditions. You’ll learn which tests need to be taken and which medications to take—how to cure the liver or live comfortably with its illness.

The author answers popular questions in detail, discusses a healthy lifestyle and nutrition, and also offers recipes that help strengthen liver health.

The book addresses questions such as:
– Does drinking a lot of water improve bile flow?
– How are the liver and cholesterol connected?
– What is the safe norm for alcohol consumption?
– What causes an enlarged liver?
– How to deal with fatty liver?
– Is cirrhosis an inevitable sentence?
