Beijing, July 31, 2025 (China News Network) – The liver, often referred to as the body’s chemical factory, plays a crucial role in metabolism, detoxification, and immunity. Recognizing the importance of liver health, experts are urging for increased awareness and proactive measures in early screening and treatment of liver diseases.
Internet platforms have become an important window for disseminating scientific and authoritative knowledge about liver diseases and eliminating social discrimination and misunderstandings, said Wang Guiqiang, Chief Physician of Peking University First Hospital, in Beijing.
The Silent Threat: Why Early Detection Matters
Liver diseases often progress silently, with many individuals unaware of their condition until it reaches an advanced stage. This is why early screening is critical. Regular check-ups and awareness of risk factors can significantly improve treatment outcomes and overall health.
Combating Misinformation and Stigma
The internet has emerged as a powerful tool for disseminating health information, but it also presents challenges in combating misinformation and stigma surrounding liver diseases. Experts emphasize the need for reliable and accessible resources to educate the public and promote informed decision-making.
Moving Forward: A Call to Action
Protecting liver health requires a multi-faceted approach, including:
- Promoting regular screening: Encouraging individuals, especially those at high risk, to undergo regular liver health check-ups.
- Raising awareness: Disseminating accurate and accessible information about liver diseases through various channels, including internet platforms.
- Combating stigma: Addressing misconceptions and promoting understanding and empathy towards individuals affected by liver diseases.
- Improving access to treatment: Ensuring that patients have access to timely and effective medical care.
By prioritizing early screening, education, and access to care, we can safeguard the health of our chemical factory and improve the lives of millions affected by liver diseases.
