Liver Disease in Women | Dr. Rajiv Lochan, Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road

Women are at higher risk of autoimmune liver diseases like Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (PBC), which can lead to cirrhosis and liver failure. Dr. Rajiv Lochan emphasises that hormonal changes, pregnancy-related conditions, and lifestyle factors contribute to this risk. Early diagnosis and timely treatment can prevent progression and reduce the need for liver transplants.
