The liver&#8217;s job is to purify the toxins in the food we eat, produce bile for digestion, and store energy. But if there is any damage to the liver, it does not show obvious symptoms in the early stages. That is why liver diseases are called the &#8216;Silent Killer&#8217;. Here are the 5 main scientific reasons that lead to the onset of liver disease:<\/p>\n<p>Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD): This is the beginning of the liver disease that is most common in Kerala today. Even in non-alcoholics, excessive fat accumulates in the liver cells due to improper diet and lack of exercise. Scientifically, this is called Fatty Liver. This can later lead to a serious condition called NASH (Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis), which causes chronic inflammation in the liver.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u0d15\u0d3e\u0d32\u0d3f\u0d32\u0d4b \u0d2e\u0d41\u0d16\u0d24\u0d4d\u0d24\u0d4b \u0d08 \u0d32\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d37\u0d23\u0d19\u0d4d\u0d19\u0d7e\u0d09\u0d23\u0d4d\u0d1f\u0d4b \u0d15\u0d30\u0d7e \u0d30\u0d4b\u0d17\u0d24\u0d4d\u0d24\u0d3f\u0d28\u0d4d\u0d31\u0d46\u0d24\u0d41\u0d1f\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d15\u0d2e\u0d3e\u0d23\u0d4d \u0d21\u0d4b\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d1f\u0d7c \u0d05\u0d28\u0d41\u0d2d\u0d35\u0d02 \u0d2a\u0d19\u0d4d\u0d15\u0d41\u0d35\u0d46\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d15\u0d41\u0d28\u0d4d\u0d28\u0d41Dr Bibin Jose\" width=\"930\" height=\"523\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lG60nkhzHU8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Excessive alcohol consumption and liver toxicity (ALD &#8211; Alcoholic Liver Disease): In long-term heavy drinkers, the ethanol in alcohol directly damages the liver cells. The byproducts produced when alcohol is broken down cause severe oxidative stress and inflammation in the liver. This is the beginning of a liver disease called alcoholic fatty liver.<\/p>\n<p>Hepatitis virus infections: Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C viruses enter the body through blood or body fluids and cause chronic infection of the liver. These viruses, which do not show symptoms initially, completely damage the liver function over years and cause cirrhosis and liver cancer. Hepatitis A and E viruses are transmitted through contaminated water and food.<\/p>\n<p>Unscientific use of drugs and supplements (DILI): Taking painkillers (for example, taking excessive doses of Paracetamol) and antibiotics without a doctor&#8217;s prescription can cause liver damage. Scientifically, this is called Drug-Induced Liver Injury (DILI). Some low-quality fake herbal\/health supplements can also quickly damage the liver.<\/p>\n<p>Diabetes and Metabolic Factors: Insulin resistance in the liver increases in people with uncontrolled type-2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and obesity (especially abdominal obesity). This reduces the liver&#8217;s ability to properly process fat and leads to the early stages of liver disease.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u0d15\u0d3e\u0d32\u0d3f\u0d32\u0d4b \u0d2e\u0d41\u0d16\u0d24\u0d4d\u0d24\u0d4b \u0d08 \u0d32\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d37\u0d23\u0d19\u0d4d\u0d19\u0d7e\u0d09\u0d23\u0d4d\u0d1f\u0d4b \u0d15\u0d30\u0d7e \u0d30\u0d4b\u0d17\u0d24\u0d4d\u0d24\u0d3f\u0d28\u0d4d\u0d31\u0d46\u0d24\u0d41\u0d1f\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d15\u0d2e\u0d3e\u0d23\u0d4d \u0d21\u0d4b\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d1f\u0d7c \u0d05\u0d28\u0d41\u0d2d\u0d35\u0d02 \u0d2a\u0d19\u0d4d\u0d15\u0d41\u0d35\u0d46\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d15\u0d41\u0d28\u0d4d\u0d28\u0d41Dr Bibin Jose\" width=\"930\" height=\"523\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lG60nkhzHU8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The liver is the largest internal organ in our body &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":31319,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31318","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-job"],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1-2026-06-02T173514.492.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31318","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=31318"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31318\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31320,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31318\/revisions\/31320"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/31319"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=31318"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=31318"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=31318"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
