Cirrhosis is a scarred liver, normally caused by alcoholism, long-time liver disease. Since the liver is a very important organ, when it fails, you don't have much longer to live unless you get a transplant.

The main nutrient that can be stored in muscle and liver is glycogen, which is the storage form of glucose. It serves as a readily accessible energy source for the body during physical activity or when blood sugar levels drop. Additionally, some vitamins and minerals can also be stored in muscle and liver in limited amounts, such as vitamin A and iron.
The first human liver transplant was performed in 1963, and since then, thousands of liver transplants are done every year.
In most UK liver transplant centres, it is not considered "routine" practice to do a liver biopsy several weeks after transplant if the patient has a normal liver function. However some centres will offer a liver biopsy at 3 year, 5 year and/or 10 year intervals, regardless of how good the liver function happens to be. Within several weeks of transplant the possibility of liver rejection is highest, so if rejection is even at all to be suspected of occurring a biopsy will be taken pretty swiftly.
