A condition whose symptoms often remain silent at first has raised alarm among health experts after putting more than 82,000 Brits in hospital last year.
Liver disease rates have gone up across England - and hospital admissions where the primary diagnosis was the condition rose by 22 per cent in the financial year ending in 2022.
There were 82,290 admissions in 2022 compared to 67,458 in 2021, according to the latest NHS data.
