Sleep disorder liver disease link

People who suffer a serious sleep disorder may also be at risk of liver problems, a study has suggested. Being overweight is linked to both conditions, but researchers from Paris’ Hopitale Saint-Antoine say sleep apnoea may directly cause liver disease.
The Hepatology study said overweight people with the sleep disorder were more at risk than those without.
People with sleep apnoea have been shown to have a higher chance of developing high blood pressure and therefore experiencing strokes or heart problems.
