What is cirrotosis?

Cirrhosis is a late-stage liver disease characterized by the progressive replacement of healthy liver tissue with scar tissue, leading to impaired liver function. It can result from various factors, including chronic alcohol abuse, viral hepatitis, and fatty liver disease. Symptoms may include fatigue, jaundice, swelling in the legs and abdomen, and increased vulnerability to infections. Early diagnosis and management are crucial to slow its progression and prevent serious complications.
