The Silent Crisis: Chronic Liver Disease in the Latinx Community and the Urgent Need for Research Participation

Chronic liver disease (CLD) is a growing health concern in the United States, and the Latinx community is disproportionately affected. This "silent crisis" often goes unnoticed until it's too late, leading to severe complications and even death. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recognizes the urgency of this issue and emphasizes the critical need for Latinx participation in CLD research. This blog post aims to shed light on this pressing health disparity and encourage the Latinx community to engage in research that could lead to life-saving breakthroughs.
