Overview
Clinical and Ayurvedic guidance for liver fibrosis.
Liver Disorder
Liver Fibrosis
Liver fibrosis is scar tissue formation after chronic inflammation or injury. It is a critical pre-cirrhotic stage and can progress silently without timely intervention.
Physiology of Fibrosis
Repeated injury activates repair pathways and collagen deposition. Ongoing injury converts adaptive healing into progressive architectural distortion.
Major Causes
Viral and alcoholic liver injury
Chronic hepatitis B/C and alcohol toxicity are major fibrosis drivers.
NAFLD/NASH
Metabolic inflammation from fatty liver can lead to fibrotic progression.
Autoimmune, biliary, and genetic disorders
Autoimmune hepatitis, cholestatic diseases, and iron/copper disorders can cause chronic scarring.
Drugs and toxins
Long-term hepatotoxic exposures may accelerate fibrosis.
Ayurvedic Supportive Plan
Core Principles
- Reduce inflammatory load and improve digestive strength.
