About Cirrhosis of the Liver

Cirrhosis of the liver (or liver fibrosis) is a serious condition in which the liver stops functioning properly due to damage and irreversible scarring of the liver tissue. The scarring of the tissue is often caused by long-term exposure to viral infections and toxins such as alcohol. Chronic viral hepatitis and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis can also cause liver cirrhosis. Alcohol-related medications, antiviral medications, and metal chelating agents are used in the treatment of the causes of liver cirrhosis while antibiotics, vitamins, corticosteroids, diuretics, beta-blockers, and laxatives are used for the treatment of the complications of the disease.
