Morphology
The phrase denotes an illness affecting the liver and is directly compositionally derived from 'liver' (the organ) + 'disease' (an illness). This noun–noun/genitive construction is a common, cross-linguistic way to name organ-specific illnesses, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand the meaning.
Etymology
Liver disease simply names a problem with the body's liver. Think of the liver as a filter that cleans the blood and stores energy, so when it is damaged it cannot do these jobs, and 'liver disease' means the liver is 'not working properly'.
