Your liver is the engine that keeps your body running smoothly! Often overlooked, your liver performs more than 500 vital functions every single day. From keeping harmful toxins out of your bloodstream to giving you energy and helping your body digest food, your liver is always working hard behind the scenes.

Here are some of the amazing things your liver does for you:

- Removes toxins – Filters out harmful substances from your body, keeping you safe and healthy.
- Fights infections – Acts as a key part of your immune system, defending your body against harmful invaders.
- Regulates blood sugar and cholesterol – Ensures your energy levels stay balanced and your heart stays healthy.
- Helps blood clot – Makes sure you heal properly when you get a cut or scrape.
- Produces bile – Helps your body break down food and absorb nutrients.

But here’s the thing: liver damage often has no symptoms until it’s serious. That’s why taking care of your liver and checking its health regularly is so important.

Arizona Liver Health is here to help. With a FREE FibroScan, you can assess your liver health quickly and painlessly. Think of it as a check-up for one of your body’s most important organs!

Don’t wait. Book your free FibroScan today!

Understanding the Keto Diet

The ketogenic (keto) diet is a dietary approach characterized by high fat intake, moderate protein consumption, and low carbohydrate intake. Its goal is to induce ketosis, a metabolic state where the body primarily burns fat for energy instead of carbohydrates. This shift in metabolism is believed to promote weight loss and various health benefits.

Incorporating Keto Meals

Explore the example above for meal ideas suitable for your keto diet. Remember to adjust portions and ingredients according to your specific calorie and macronutrient requirements. Staying well-hydrated and being attentive to your body's hunger and fullness signals are also crucial aspects of following a keto regimen.

Our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Naim Alkhouri, is excited to share groundbreaking news about advancements in diagnosing at-risk MASH for our patients.

“I’m pleased to announce the availability of a new blood-based test for patients with suspected fatty liver disease. This new test, called OWLiver, helps determine the severity of liver disease by measuring metabolites, specifically lipid species, in the blood,” said Dr. Alkhouri.

The simple blood test, which requires fasting, provides three potential outcomes: simple fatty liver disease, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), or at-risk MASH, which indicates steatohepatitis along with moderate to advanced fibrosis.

Diagnosing fatty liver disease is vital for our patients' care, and we’re proud to offer this advanced diagnostic tool to better serve their health needs.

If you are interested in scheduling an appointment, please call us at 480-470-4700 or visit azliver.com to request an appointment.

Liver Health Awareness: The Importance of Early Screening

Did you know that liver disease can progress silently, often showing no signs until it's too late? As Rida Nadeem, MD explains:

"One of the things I teach my patients on a daily basis is that liver disease often is silent. It is a struggling, stressed, and failing liver that gives us the symptoms we often associate with liver disease. By the time a patient is symptomatic, the probability of reversing liver disease becomes obsolete for the most part. This obviates the need for early screening and intervention."

For those dealing with Metabolic-Dysfunction Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD), this is especially true. Patients with risk factors like Type 2 Diabetes or excess weight should prioritize liver screenings. Early detection and treatment can prevent the disease from progressing and help protect your liver.

Don't wait for symptoms to take control of your health—schedule your liver screening today with Arizona Liver Health!
