• 1. Liver Cirrhosis

  Liver Cirrhosis (LC) is a chronic progressive liver disease characterized by widespread degeneration and destruction of liver cells. This leads to the replacement of normal liver tissue with scar tissue and regenerative nodules. All chronic liver diseases, including excessive alcohol consumption and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, can cause LC. LC attempts to regenerate liver cells, but the disorderly regeneration process creates abnormal blood vessels and bile ducts. The overgrowth of the fibrotic connective tissue destroys the normal lobular structure of the liver, and the irregular size and shape of the lobules impede blood flow. As a result, the irregular and disorderly liver regeneration and the inadequate nutrition and oxygenation of the hepatocytes lead to impaired liver function.

• 1. Liver Cirrhosis

  Liver cirrhosis is a serious and progressive condition that can have a significant impact on an individual's health and quality of life. It is characterized by the replacement of healthy liver tissue with scarred, non-functioning tissue, which can lead to a range of complications, including liver failure, portal hypertension, and an increased risk of liver cancer. The primary causes of liver cirrhosis include chronic alcohol abuse, viral hepatitis (particularly hepatitis B and C), and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial in managing the condition and preventing further liver damage. Treatment options may include lifestyle modifications, such as abstaining from alcohol and maintaining a healthy diet, as well as medications and, in some cases, liver transplantation. It is important for individuals with liver cirrhosis to work closely with their healthcare providers to develop a comprehensive treatment plan and to closely monitor their condition. With proper management, many individuals with liver cirrhosis can maintain a good quality of life and prevent or delay the development of serious complications.
