What is Liver Cirrhosis?

Liver cirrhosis is a condition in which healthy liver cells are gradually destroyed and replaced by fibrous (scar) tissue. Over time, the liver becomes shrunken, hardened, and loses its ability to perform vital functions such as digestion, detoxification, protein production, and blood purification.

Types of Liver Cirrhosis

1. Alcoholic Cirrhosis

Caused by long-term excessive alcohol consumption.

2. Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Cirrhosis (NASH)

Develops due to obesity, diabetes, and advanced fatty liver disease.

3. Viral Cirrhosis

Caused by Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C infections.

4. Biliary Cirrhosis

Occurs due to blockage or inflammation of the bile ducts.

5. Cardiac Cirrhosis

Develops when long-term heart weakness increases pressure on the liver.

6. Drug-Induced Cirrhosis

Caused by medications, chemicals, or toxins.
