addiction recovery ebulletin liver disease surge
August 27, 2019 – People ages 25 to 34 represent the greatest increase in deaths driven by alcohol-related liver cirrhosis — a nearly 11% increase per year from 2009 to 2017, according to research published last year in The BMJ and updated in August. “Every day on rounds, all of America’s liver specialists are seeing multiple young people in various states of liver failure. In clinics, we experience more and more young people being referred,” said liver specialist Elliot B. Tapper, an assistant professor with the University of Michigan Medical School and coauthor of the research. “We’re doing more transplants than we’ve ever done for this reason. More and more people are dying.”
