Clinical Information
  • A disorder characterized by replacement of the liver parenchyma with fibrous tissue and regenerative nodules. It is usually caused by alcoholisms, hepatitis b, and hepatitis c. Complications include the development of ascites, esophageal varices, bleeding, and hepatic encephalopathy.
  • A type of chronic, progressive liver disease in which liver cells are replaced by scar tissue.
  • Cirrhosis is scarring of the liver. Scar tissue forms because of injury or long-term disease. Scar tissue cannot do what healthy liver tissue does - make protein, help fight infections, clean the blood, help digest food and store energy. Cirrhosis can lead to
    • easy bruising or bleeding, or nosebleeds
    • swelling of the abdomen or legs
    • extra sensitivity to medicines
    • high blood pressure in the vein entering the liver
    • enlarged veins in the esophagus and stomach
    • kidney failure
    about 5 percent of people with cirrhosis get liver cancer. Cirrhosis has many causes. In the United States, the most common causes are chronic alcoholism and hepatitis. Nothing will make the scar tissue disappear, but treating the cause can keep it from getting worse. If too much scar tissue forms, you may need to consider a liver transplant.
  • Liver disease in which the normal microcirculation, the gross vascular anatomy, and the hepatic architecture have been variably destroyed and altered with fibrous septa surrounding regenerated or regenerating parenchymal nodules.
