Common liver diseases mainly include the following categories:
1. Infectious diseases: such as hepatitis B, which is a common viral infection.
2. Vascular diseases: such as intrahepatic arteriovenous fistula and intrahepatic thrombosis.
3. Metabolic diseases: fatty liver disease is relatively common.
4. Toxic diseases: drug-induced liver injury is frequently seen.
5. Autoimmune diseases: such as autoimmune hepatitis or primary sclerosing cholangitis.
6. Genetic diseases: such as Wilson's disease (hepatic-lenticular degeneration) and congenital biliary atresia.
7. Intrahepatic bile duct stones are also among the common liver diseases, which can easily cause liver atrophy.
Early detection and timely professional treatment are crucial for the above-mentioned conditions.
