2. Cirrhosis
Cirrhosis : is a very
difficult disease that
occurs when the liver
develops a scar. The
liver is a large organ
belonging to the
digestive system.

3. When a person develops cirrhosis, the
fibrous tissue replaces the healthy tissue,
preventing the liver from functioning
normally. For example, the liver may not
be able to produce enough coagulants,
making it difficult to stop bleeding when it
occurs. The liver may fail to filter (purify)
toxins that may accumulate in the
circulatory system.
Scarring may also lead to high blood
pressure in the veins that transport blood
from the intestine through the liver (portal
hypertension). This condition leads to
severe and severe bleeding in the
digestive system and other serious
problems.
Cirrhosis of the liver may lead to death.
But treating cirrhosis at an early stage

4. Causes
1.Chronic alcohol abuse
2.Chronic viral hepatitis
(hepatitis B, C and D)
3.Fat accumulating in the liver
(nonalcoholic fatty liver
disease)
4.Iron buildup in the body
(hemochromatosis)
5.Cystic fibrosis
6.Copper accumulated in the
liver (Wilson's disease)
7.Poorly formed bile ducts
(biliary atresia)
8.Inherited disorders of sugar
metabolism (galactosemia
or glycogen storage
disease)
9.Liver disease caused by
your body's immune
system (autoimmune
hepatitis)
10.Infection, such as syphilis
or brucellosis

5. Symptoms of the
disease do not
always appear in
the early stages
of cirrhosis.
As for the
advanced stages
of cirrhosis, a
number of
symptoms may
appear, among
:them
Symptoms

6. 1.Feeling very tired and wasted
2.Bleeding from the nose and ease of injury
3.Low weight
4.Abdominal pain or feeling tight
5.Yellowing of the skin color (Jaundice)
6.Itching
7.Fluids collect in the legs, which is called
"edema“, and fluid collects in the abdomen,
which is called "dropsy" (or: Ascites)
8.Bleeding inside the stomach or
esophagus,the duct that goes from the
mouth to the stomach.

7. Treating
It is very important and necessary to treat
cirrhosis as quickly as possible. Although
treatment can not cure cirrhosis of the liver, it
may sometimes succeed in limiting the
damage, or prevent other damage to the
liver. Treatment may include: drug therapy,
surgical treatment and other treatments,
depending on the causative agent of
cirrhosis and the complications and
problems it causes.

9. There are several steps that can be taken to reduce liver
damage and to treat symptoms:
1. Never drink alcohol.
2. Not taking any medication without consulting a
doctor.
3. Verify that the vaccines obtained are still effective.
4.Take care to feed low-sodium.
5.Symptoms may appear, sometimes, after the disease
has reached advanced stages, only. Therefore, it is
necessary to continue to conduct regular medical
examinations, including laboratory examinations.
