Chronic liver disease can result from a variety of etiological factors including:
Alcohol Abuse: Prolonged excessive alcohol consumption is a primary cause of alcoholic liver disease. Viral Hepatitis: Chronic infections with hepatitis B and C viruses are significant contributors to liver disease worldwide. Metabolic Disorders: Conditions such as hemochromatosis and Wilson’s disease lead to abnormal accumulation of iron and copper, respectively, causing liver damage. Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD): Often associated with obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome.
