What causes liver infection?
When the liver cells become damaged, the immune system responds to this damage and causes inflammation (infection)…this causes the liver to enlarge in size. The causes are: alcohol consumption, medication toxification, chemical exposure, viral infections (like hepatitis A,B,C), mushroom poisoning, hereditary conditions, metabolic disorders, auto immune disease, cardiac/vascular problems, biliary obstruction/malformation/infections, fatty liver disease, parasite infections and others. Depending on the cause, treatment will be provided.
