Liver Health

Are you over 40? And perhaps like many Australians don’t mind a drink, enjoy a good meal & have put a little weight on over the years. Have you ever wondered how your liver is being affected by how much alcohol you drink, how much fat you eat and how much the extra weight we carry around is taking its toll on our liver? In fact, throughout the world consistent and over consumption of alcohol is now the leading cause of liver disease. Today on MediTalk we are speaking with Professor Luc Delrivière who is a Professor of Surgery at the University of Western Australia & is also the senior surgeon at the Liver Transplant Service at Sir Charles Gardener Hospital in Perth. As well as, is a leading Liver and General Surgeon at St John of God Hospital in Subiaco. Profesor Delrivière helps us to better understand our liver health and he explains some common liver conditions which more and more Australians are suffering from such as; cirrhosis of the liver and fatty liver disease. A big thank you to Profesor Delrivière for sharing his knowledge with us today on Meditalk.
