Liver Health Month: Too Close 4 Comfort
Just because you can’t see liver disease doesn’t mean it’s not there.
Liver disease can sneak up on you. No one ever expects it will happen to them. And yet, someone you know may already be among the Canadians being diagnosed with liver disease every day across Canada.
