Overview

Liver cirrhosis is a condition where scar tissue replaces healthy liver tissue, inhibiting its ability to function properly. This can lead to a variety of symptoms, including abdominal pain, fatigue, and yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice). Liver cirrhosis is caused by chronic or long-term alcohol abuse, hepatitis B or C infections, or other conditions, such as biliary tree obstruction. Treatment of liver cirrhosis typically involves lifestyle modifications, medications, and possibly surgery. Without appropriate treatment, liver cirrhosis can be life-threatening, as it can lead to complications such as liver failure or cancer. As such, early and accurate diagnosis is critical to begin timely treatment and prevent progression of the disease.
