What is Cirrhosis?
Cirrhosis is a serious liver disease that happens when the liver becomes damaged over a long time. The damage causes scar tissue to form, making it harder for the liver to do its job. Drinking a lot of alcohol over many years is a common cause, but other factors can also cause cirrhosis.
People with cirrhosis have a higher chance of getting liver cancer. Regular check-ups with your GP are 当患有 to find any problems early on.
The liver damage from cirrhosis cannot be repaired. Finding and treating the cause early can help stop the liver from getting worse.
