Cirrhosis Liver

Cirrhosis of the liver is a process where liver tissue is replaced with scar tissue. It is a gradual process. The scar tissue affects the typical structure of the liver and the liver cells’ regrowth.

Liver cirrhosis treatment involves conducting a thorough examination and taking a detailed history of the patient; following that, all the blood tests and scans can detect both the extent of liver disease and the condition of other organ systems. CT/MRI is usually recommended for specific conditions.

There’s no specific treatment for liver cirrhosis. However, they may treat complications secondary to cirrhosis. Some disorders that cause cirrhosis can be cured. Treating the underlying causes of cirrhosis may keep your cirrhosis from getting worse. It also helps in preventing liver failure. Successful treatment may slowly help in improving some of your liver scarring.

It may take several years to develop cirrhosis, and you can do so without any symptoms until the liver damage is severe. In many cases, over 80% of the liver is damaged before the symptoms appear. The damage is due to ongoing injury to the liver tissue caused by various factors like:

• Fatty liver
• Excessive alcohol consumption
• Chronic viral infection and many others

The initial symptoms of liver cirrhosis are:

• Loss of sex drive
• Menstrual irregularities
• Itchy skin
• Loss of appetite
• Nausea
• General weakness
• Unusual tiredness

As the liver conditions worsen and reach the stage of decompensated liver disease, the patient develops one or more of the following symptoms:

• Swollen legs or tummy
• Tendency to bruise or bleed more easily
• Tarry, dark-looking stools
• Vomiting blood
• Yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes
