Warning of 'silent killer' disease with few symptoms as hospital admissions skyrocket
A warning has been issued after the number of hospital admissions linked to a potentially deadly disease has seen a sharp rise. There has been a 22 per cent increase in liver disease hospital admissions in England in just one year, according to recent health figures published.
The British Liver Trust is calling for action, saying the data "sounded alarm bells." The figures have shown almost 15,000 more people confirmed to have the disease have been admitted to hospitals in England in a single year, BirminghamLive reports.There were 82,290 admissions in the financial year ending 2022 compared to 67,458 in 2021. This is up by almost 47 per cent compared to 10 years ago..
Liver disease often remains silent in its early stages, exhibiting minimal to no symptoms. However it is almost entirely preventable with the major risk factors being alcohol, obesity and hepatitis B and C which account for up to nine out of 10 cases.
