Frequently Asked Questions

Cirrhosis is the scarring of the liver tissue caused by long-term damage, which affects liver function.
Cirrhosis can be caused by chronic alcohol consumption, hepatitis, fatty liver disease, and other liver conditions.
Symptoms may include fatigue, jaundice, swelling in the legs or abdomen, and easy bruising.
Cirrhosis cannot be cured, but treatment can manage symptoms and prevent further liver damage.
Cirrhosis is classified into four stages: compensated, decompensated, end-stage liver disease, and liver failure.
Cirrhosis is diagnosed through blood tests, imaging scans, and liver biopsy.
Treatment includes managing underlying conditions, medications, lifestyle changes, and possibly a liver transplant.
Cirrhosis can be fatal if it progresses to liver failure, but early diagnosis and treatment can improve life expectancy.
