Over time, conditions that damage the liver can lead to scarring, called cirrhosis. Because cirrhosis has a variety of causes and complications, there are many potential avenues of approach A combination of increased screening, lifestyle changes and new medicines may improve outcomes for people with liver damage, if started early. Cirrhosis happens because of liver injury, such as the damage caused by inflammation in mash As the liver tries to stop inflammation, it creates areas of scarring, also called fibrosis. Having a larger than usual liver is a sign of a serious condition, such as liver disease, congestive heart failure or cancer.
Several liver diseases — including hepatitis infection, alcoholic liver disease, fatty liver disease and a bile duct disorder called primary biliary cholangitis — can result in cirrhosis. Cirrhosis is usually a result of liver damage from conditions such as hepatitis b or c, or chronic alcohol use The damage done by cirrhosis typically cannot be undone. Ongoing inflammation in the liver can lead to bile duct inflammation and damage known as cholangitis At times, this can lead to permanent scarring of liver tissue, called cirrhosis. Hepatic encephalopathy may be caused by injury to the liver, cancer or a chronic liver disease that results in liver failure, such as cirrhosis
Liver disease can cause longstanding inflammation in the liver and accumulate mutations that can lead to cancer One of the big problems is that many people can have liver disease and not be aware of it until their liver is quite damaged or a cancer forms.
