What is cirrhosis? Cirrhosis is a disease in which the liver becomes scarred over time from chronic inflammation and liver cell damage. Cirrhosis can be caused by various diseases, with alcohol abuse and viral hepatitis among the most common.

This video discusses the cellular mechanism behind fibrotic tissue generation and the pathophysiology of a cirrhotic liver. It also covers some of the major complications, as well as clinical signs and symptoms.

    Thanks for explaining particularly the shunting part. I have NAFLD and a benign tumor on my liver, though no biopsy. My boyfriend thinks I have ascites because I lost 6 lbs almost overnight once I saw my weight on the scale. Legs and feet have had chronic pitting edema for 2 decades. I've smoked for 47 years. Hyperlipidemia , hypothyroid, perfect blood pressure, but not for me. Mine is usually much lower 90's/60's. Left sternocleidomastoid muscle collapsed 4 years ago, or got paresis. Now, the right one is impaired, too., and diagnosed with esophageal spasms a decade ago I think maybe diaphragm spasms or breach or small heart attacks, too. Not goiing to thee doctor until I learn as much as I can. Heart is irregular much of the time and borderline tachy. Broken spine and rods in spine bilaterally that goes from T10 to my ilium and I still do my own chores without even aspirin. Code on discharge papers after breaking my spine at that time, according to W.H.O. was "spinal fusion with deforming dorsopathies." I looked it up. Believe me, I look like I've lived, and I have. :D Had cholecystectomy and ERCP to get stones out of bile ducts, suffer incredible abdominal pain. Toes cannot be controlled if I lay my lift cchair back. I even got a bunion after a bad attack. It's tiring. Pretty sure I have some broken ribs. Just trying to learn everything. I want to one day get a Dr. Visit, only for the purpose of diagnosis but not until I can understand what is being said because the notes I took one time said "peritoneal hernia-delineated fats undelineated." It all works together, you know? Dominoes. I'm not even in my 60's.
