Life Cycle 360

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Most liver disease is silent until it is advanced. Much of it is preventable, and a good deal of it is reversible, if it is caught early. Your Liver, For Life is a plain-language handbook on liver disease and transplantation for patients, families, and communities: protect your liver for life, avoid a transplant if you can, and live an ordinary life if you have one.

Twenty-four chapters follow the whole cycle of the illness, from the four questions every liver workup is trying to answer, through the tests and scores, to the day of surgery and the year after. Part I explains the liver and the transplant evaluation, including MELD and Child-Pugh. Part II covers the conditions that can improve when the cause is removed or treated: alcohol-associated liver disease, MASLD and MASH, viral hepatitis, and autoimmune disease. Part III is daily management: medicines, nutrition, complications, procedures, and palliative care. Part IV runs from the donor to the operating room, the first year, rejection, and life afterward. Part V takes on the ethics of allocation and what is changing in the field. Six specialist consultations are written as conversations you can follow, and a short story about one family opens each part.

It is written for the person who has been told to keep an eye on it, and for the family sitting beside them. Every chapter closes with questions to ask your team, a checklist, and a knowledge check. No drug doses appear anywhere in the book, and every clinical figure was verified as of 2026.

Life Cycle 360, Book One. An educational resource. Not medical advice, and not a substitute for care from your own clinician. The author is not a physician.

The 44 figures and the tables are described briefly in this audiobook; they appear in full in the print and e-book editions.
