What is Overview of Liver Cirrhosis about?
Cirrhosis is a chronic disease characterized by the replacement of healthy liver tissue with scar tissue. It is most commonly caused by alcohol, hepatitis B/C, or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. As the liver becomes increasingly scarred, it loses its ability to function properly, which can ultimately lead to liver failure and death if left untreated. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms, avoiding alcohol, treating the underlying cause if possible, and in severe cases transplantation may be required.
