Abstract

Liver disease is prevalent and a major public health concern. It has predominantly spread in the UK and worldwide, causing liver-related morbidity and mortality rates for the under 65s since 1970. This article aims to highlight the role of early intervention and health promotion in the management of chronic liver disease (CLD). The objective is to critically analyse an issue like CLD, and further employ principles, ethical theories to health promotion practice. Since 2015, there is no one single drug that treats NALFD, a dietary plan and lifestyle modifications can be added in management of the disease. Educating patients perhaps is a form of regimen, and a coping mechanism as set by the health belief model to understand the disease. Additional studies need to be formed to understand the exact contributions health care professionals are likely to make, and of those that are new clinicians.
