There are many different types of liver disease and the NHS website has a good explanation of these. The most common are caused by alcohol, carrying extra weight and infection.   

If you would like advice to help with unplanned weight loss please see poor appetite. We also have a liver disease fact sheet for people who are worried about their appetite, please see below in 'useful documents'.  

If you think your liver disease is linked to your weight and lifestyle please see our healthy eating page.
