Toxic liver disease with fibrosis and cirrhosis of liver - what does this mean
Toxic liver disease with fibrosis and cirrhosis of the liver is caused by long-term exposure to toxins such as alcohol, drugs, or environmental pollutants. over time, these toxins damage the liver, leading to inflammation and scarring, which can lead to fibrosis and eventually cirrhosis. cirrhosis is the most advanced stage of liver disease and is characterized by irreparable scarring of the liver tissue, leading to serious complications and, in some cases, death.
What happens during the disease - toxic liver disease with fibrosis and cirrhosis of liver
Toxic liver disease with fibrosis and cirrhosis of the liver is a condition caused by long-term exposure to certain toxins, such as alcohol, drugs, and environmental pollutants, that damage the cells of the liver and cause inflammation. this inflammation causes scarring of liver tissue, resulting in fibrosis. as the fibrosis progresses, the liver becomes increasingly unable to perform its normal functions, leading to cirrhosis. cirrhosis of the liver can lead to a number of complications, including liver failure, liver cancer, and death.
