Liver cirrhosis refers to the term in which the healthy tissues of the liver become scarred (fibrosis) to the extent that it can be life-threatening as it is the advanced stage ( 80-90%)of liver damage. The initial damage to the liver can be caused by various conditions such as hepatitis, excess alcoholism, and fatty liver (caused by diabetes and obesity). However, if initial offending factors of the liver damage are taken care of on time, then the cirrhosis stage of the liver can be halted.
