What liver disease is defined by irreversible scarring resulting from prolonged damage, often due to alcohol or viral hepatitis?

Which condition involves liver damage that results from long-term alcohol misuse, potentially leading to fatty liver, hepatitis, and cirrhosis?

What liver condition is characterized by excessive fat accumulation unrelated to alcohol intake, frequently associated with obesity and high cholesterol?

Which inherited disorder leads to the accumulation of copper in the liver, brain, and eyes due to a defect in copper metabolism?

What autoimmune disease progressively destroys the small bile ducts in the liver?

Which condition is a genetic disorder that causes the body to store too much iron, potentially damaging the liver and other organs?

What condition results in the yellowing of the skin and eyes due to elevated bilirubin levels?

What is the term for liver disease that persists for more than six months, potentially progressing to cirrhosis and other complications?

What disease is characterized by irreversible scarring of the liver resulting from prolonged damage, such as from alcohol abuse or viral hepatitis?

What disease involves a DNA virus that can integrate into the host genome, potentially leading to chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and even hepatocellular carcinoma?

What disease is specifically associated with excessive fat accumulation in the liver in individuals who do not consume excessive amounts of alcohol?

What disease involves abnormal copper metabolism, leading to copper accumulation in the liver, brain, and eyes?

What disease is characterized by yellowing of the skin and sclera due to elevated bilirubin levels in the blood?

What disease is defined as an autoimmune condition leading to the progressive destruction of small bile ducts within the liver?

What disease is characterized by acute viral liver inflammation, is typically transmitted via the faeco-oral route, and usually resolves without leading to chronic liver damage?

What disease is characterized by irreversible scarring of the liver due to long-term damage from various causes, such as viral hepatitis or alcohol abuse?

What condition results from chronic, excessive consumption of alcohol, leading to a spectrum of liver damage from fatty liver to cirrhosis?

What disease involves a defective virus that can only replicate in the presence of Hepatitis B, exacerbating liver damage?

What acute liver disease is typically transmitted via the fecal-oral route and poses a higher risk of severe illness in pregnant women?

What condition is classified by ongoing liver damage lasting more than six months, potentially leading to cirrhosis?

What acute condition can develop as a result of acetaminophen overdose, potentially leading to rapid liver failure?

What infection is caused by an RNA virus, primarily transmitted through blood, which often leads to chronic hepatitis and increases the risk of liver cancer?
