Diseases
Colon cancer
Colon cancer, or colon cancer, often develops from polyps on the intestinal wall. These benign swellings can become malignant after years and thus cause cancer.
Appendicitis
An appendicitis is an inflammation of the appendix, a small appendage of the cecum. Symptoms include severe pain in the lower right part of the abdomen, especially when pressed or touched.
Stomach cancer
Stomach cancer is a malignant process associated with the formation of a tumour, usually at the level of the gastric mucosa.
Liver cirrhosis
Liver cirrhosis is the process of replacing healthy liver cells with scar tissue. The liver hardens and loses its functions, which can lead to complications such as portal hypertension.
Hemochromatosis
Hemochromatosis is an inherited disease in which the body stores too much iron, which can lead to liver and heart damage, joint pain and weakening. Family tests are recommended for diagnosis.
Fatty Liver Disease
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the accumulation of fat in the liver. In NASH, a more severe form, the liver becomes inflamed, which can lead to liver cirrhosis and liver cancer.
