Travel Insurance for Fatty Liver Disease

Fatty liver disease is a condition where excess fat builds up in the liver, which can affect how the liver functions over time. It can vary in severity, from mild cases with few symptoms to more advanced stages that require ongoing management. In the UK, it is estimated that around 1 in 3 people may have some form of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Travelling with a medical condition can take a little extra planning, but if your condition is stable and you’ve spoken with your doctor, there’s often no reason you can’t still enjoy a holiday abroad.

Travel insurance can help provide protection if your condition affects your trip:

• Emergency medical treatment and hospital care abroad
• Medical transport or repatriation back to the UK if required
• Cancellation cover if you are unable to travel due to your condition
• 24-hour medical assistance while you are abroad

Travel advice for people with a liver condition

• Carry medication in your hand luggage in case of delays
• Be mindful of foods that may trigger symptoms when travelling abroad
• Drink plenty of bottled water and stay hydrated
• Allow flexibility in your plans if symptoms flare up

If you have been diagnosed with fatty liver disease, you might need to declare it when applying for travel insurance. Read the medical declaration carefully to make sure.

Travel insurance is still available if you’ve been diagnosed with a medical condition. However, the cover options offered vary depending on the nature of the condition and how well it is controlled. Providing clear and accurate information during your medical declaration helps to make sure that the most appropriate cover is arranged.
