Love Your Liver
9 in 10 cases of liver disease could be prevented. Love Your Liver is our national awareness campaign devoted to liver health.
Around 1 in 10 people receiving a free liver scan on our Love Your Liver roadshow have signs of possible liver damage. And 1 in 40 could already have advanced levels of liver scarring.
As part of our Love Your Liver campaign, we offer help and information for looking after your liver. Our national roadshow and free online screener let you check on your liver health. And our events and awareness campaigns help more people to love their liver.
Why you should love your liver
We want the nation to show their liver some love in January and take their first steps towards better liver health.
The liver is a fascinating organ and its importance is often underrated. It’s an amazing multi-tasker and has over 500 vital jobs to do to keep you alive. It’s just as important as other organs like your heart and lungs, but they tend to steal most of the limelight.
In the UK, liver disease is on the rise. The three major preventable causes are drinking alcohol, obesity and viral hepatitis.
When it’s damaged, the liver can repair itself, but only up to a point. Sadly, people with liver disease often don’t have any symptoms until the disease has progressed and it’s far too late for treatment. That’s why it’s so important to know the risk factors and to keep your liver happy and healthy for life – before long-lasting damage can occur. Take your first steps towards better liver health today.
This January, let’s show our livers some love by doing something healthy.
Take a pledge to love your liver and make a change that will benefit your liver health.
