German Liver Day
The German Liver Day is a health day that takes place annually on November 20th in the Federal Republic of Germany .
The aim of the German Liver Day is to inform the population about possible causes, course, therapy and prevention of liver diseases . In the long term, this should lead to better early detection and timely treatment of liver diseases.
background
Almost 100 different liver diseases are now known and, according to WHO estimates, several million people are affected in Germany alone . Many liver diseases can be treated well in their early stages. However, since there are often no clear symptoms, many liver diseases are recognized late. Regardless of the cause, many liver diseases have cirrhosis of the liver and liver cancer as the common end stage.
Host

The current organizers of the German Liver Day are the Gastro-Liga eV, the German Liver Foundation and the German Liver Aid eV During this day, events such as doctor-patient seminars, public liver test campaigns and expert consultations take place at various locations.
