Cirrhotic hepatitis is more commonly known as cirrhosis of the liver. This occurs usually in alcoholics, and leads to loss of liver production.

When you have 60 percent of your liver but have cirrhosis of the liver?

It means that 60% of your liver is currently functioning normally, but the other 40% has stopped functioning and is cirrhotic. (Not that your liver is distinctly split 60:40, with one side working but the other not - cirrhotic cells will be interspersed with normal cells). Your liver can regenerate itself with just 5% left working, however cirrhotic cells will remain (i.e the cannot be reabsorbed by the body). If this does happen, it may mean having part of the cirrhotic liver surgically removed.
