M.J. Rose has started a linking campaign in honor of Barbara Seranella, who passed away recently from liver failure, and the Crime Fiction Dossier backs her all the way.
Please consider signing up to be an organ donor. There is no better way to give meaning to the end of one's own life than to give a new start to another's.
As a general rule, all people should attempt to maintain a normal weight and to keep their diets low in saturated fats. This can reduce the likelihood of developing nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (although other factors may have a role in the development of this disease). As much as possible, all hepatotoxic medications should be avoided. Cigarette smoking should be terminated, as it has been linked to the development of liver cancer and may enhance the hepatotoxicity of some medications.
