What it is Filled
Advanced scarring of the liver in which normal tissue is replaced by fibrous tissue and regenerative nodules, impairing liver function, caused by chronic alcohol use, viral hepatitis, fatty liver disease, autoimmune and biliary conditions such as primary biliary cholangitis, and rare familial forms; cirrhosis can lead to complications such as bleeding, fluid accumulation, confusion and liver cancer, and is managed by treating causes and complications, with transplantation for advanced disease.
