Originamitteilung:
Gießen, Hannover, Köln – Jeder kennt seltene Briefmarken, seltene Ereignisse und auch seltene Tiere – doch dass es auch Seltene Erkrankungen (SE) gibt, ist vielen Menschen nicht bekannt. Dabei ist die Gesamtzahl der Betroffenen trotz der Seltenheit der einzelnen Erkrankung hoch. Häufig verursachen SE keine spezifischen Symptome und sind deswegen schwer zu diagnostizieren. Einige SE betreffen direkt die Leber oder haben eine Lebermitbeteiligung, sodass sie zu einer Leberschädigung führen. Im Vorfeld des 25. Deutschen Lebertages am 20. November 2024 machen die Ausrichter auf die Herausforderungen bei Diagnose und Therapie der seltenen Lebererkrankungen aufmerksam.
