The liver is affected. The term means "yellowing" of the liver. Many things can cause it including alcohol, hepatitis B and C. This liver tissue becomes replaced with scar tissue. It can not be cured but the effects of the damage, if not severe, can be managed. Liver transplant may be the only choice. Signs and symptoms include: jaundice, itching, clubbing of the digits, ascites, enlarged spleen, loss of sex hormones, breast development in males, spider nevi, plus many more.
