YUP THAT’S RIGHT IT’S FACTS TIME!

Approximately 15,000 hospitalizations occur each year for pediatric liver disease in the U.S.

The Greek word for liver is “hepar” - that’s why medical terms related to the liver often start in “hepato” or “hepatic”

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease affects up to 10% of all children in the U.S.

As many as 1 in 250 children is infected with hepatitis C in the U.S.

Incidence of all causes of neonatal liver disease may be as high as 1 in 2500 live births in the U.S.

The liver is the only human internal organ capable of natural regeneration of lost tissue; as little as 25% of a liver can regenerate into a whole liver.
