Aside from alcohol consumption, various factors may cause liver cirrhosis. The most common causes include:

1. Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
-a condition in which the liver becomes inflamed from a build-up of excess fat
2. Hepatitis Infection
-this is inflammation of the liver caused by heavy alcohol use, toxins, some medications, and certain medical conditions
3. Autoimmune Hepatitis
-body's immune system attacks the liver and causes inflammation and liver damage
4. Primary Biliary Cholangitis
-a chronic disease n which the bile ducts in your liver are slowly destroyed
5. Biliary Atresia
-a condition in infants where in bile flow from the liver to the gallbladder is blocked. This causes the bile to be trapped inside the liver, quickly causing damage and scarring (cirrhosis)

About 9% of the Philippines' population aged 15 and up (estimated at 86 million) suffers from an alcohol use disorder. Furthermore, 25 percent of men and 8.3 percent of women (15-85 years old) are episodic solid drinkers (World Health Organization, 2013).

The Youth for Liver Cirrhosis Awareness PH targets the general population aged 15 and up to understand how heavy alcohol consumption contributes to alcohol-related liver disease, which conversely, predisposes an individual to liver cirrhosis.

Drinking alcohol has been already a practice globally in celebrating special occasions, such as, fiestas, wedding ceremonies, graduations, birthday parties etc. Some aren’t aware they are already consuming beyond what their liver can tolerate. Know your limits before it’s too late. Treat your liver right.
