- A Resource About Cirrhosis

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- For reasons that I don't understand, my mail has been filled with
- questions about liver cirrhosis these days. While it is not infrequent to
- find exactly three questions about a rare disease in a single bag of mail,
- this concern about the liver far exceeds that number. And so as any good
- physician should, I located an appropriate brochure for all those concerned,
- and some of you who may just be interested. My resource for such material is
- the American Liver Foundation, the only national voluntary agency dedicated to
- attacking liver diseases, the third leading disease-related cause of death in
- the 25-59 age group. They have prepared a most informative brochure about
- cirrhosis that contains the answers to many of your questions. With sections
- on the prevention, the complications and the treatment of cirrhosis, this
- publication may be complete enough for you, or perhaps just the beginning of
- your study, if you need more precise information. You may obtain your free
- copy, by sending your request and a stamped, self addressed, envelope to
- "Cirrhosis", The American Liver Foundation, Cedar Grove, New Jersey 07009. You
- will be well rewarded.
