Millones de personas en Estados Unidos sufren de trastornos del hígado, de los conductos biliares o de la vesícula biliar.

El hígado es el órgano más grande del cuerpo humano. Es a la vez, uno de los más importantes. El sistema biliar está compuesto por los conductos biliares, la vesícula biliar y el páncreas - todos ellos estrechamente relacionados con el funcionamiento del hígado.

Algunas enfermedades del hígado, biliares y pancreáticas son congénitas (presentes al nacimiento). Otras, sin embargo, pueden prevenirse. De todos modos, ya sean congénitas, relacionadas con lesiones, inducidas por virus, por medicamentos o por el alcohol, pueden tener efectos devastadores sobre la salud de las personas y exigir atención médica.
