What is the medical term meaning Condition in which the liver tissue is destroyed and replaced by scar tissue?
Scar tissue that forms in the liver is called cirrhosis. Technically cirrhosis is not a "disease"; it is a stage of liver malfunction. In fact, it is the final stage after fibrosis. Cirrhosis of the liver is most often caused by alcoholism, but can be caused by other diseases as well.
What disease is caused when liver cells are replaced by useless scar tissue?
Cirrhosis of the liver involves the replacement of healthy liver cells with scar tissue.
What disease occur when normal liver tissue is replaced by scar tissue?
The disease that occurs when normal liver tissue is replaced by scar tissue is known as cirrhosis. This condition results from chronic liver damage due to factors such as alcohol abuse, viral hepatitis, or fatty liver disease. As scar tissue forms, it disrupts the liver's ability to function properly, leading to complications such as liver failure, portal hypertension, and increased risk of liver cancer. Early detection and treatment are crucial to manage the disease and prevent further liver damage.
What is the liver disease caused by drinking heavily for many years?
Cirrhosis is a slow progressing disease of the liver where healthy liver tissue is gradually replaced with scar tissue. The liver can no longer filter toxins like drugs and alcohol.
Is the liver considered a tissue or an organ?
The liver is considered an organ, not a tissue.
How does hepatitis c kill you?
Hepatitis C primarily leads to liver damage over many years, resulting in chronic liver disease. This can progress to cirrhosis, where healthy liver tissue is replaced by scar tissue, impairing liver function. Ultimately, liver failure can occur, which is life-threatening. Additionally, chronic hepatitis C increases the risk of liver cancer, further contributing to mortality.
How the liver diseases affect in the tissue?
Because the liver is just on the outside of the tissue
What is scerosis of the liver?
Cirrhosis of the liver in the basic "killing off" of healthy liver cells. The causes are linked to excessive alcohol use or abuse and Hepatitus C. What smoking does to the lungs, excessive alcohol and Hepatitus C does to the liver.

No. These are the cells that make up most of the liver's tissue and preform specialized liver functions. They contain organelles.
Is it true that a heart tissue is different then a liver tissue?
Yes
What are two tissues that is replaced largerly with scar tissue?
Two types of tissues that are largely replaced by scar tissue are cardiac muscle tissue and nervous tissue. In the heart, after a myocardial infarction (heart attack), damaged cardiac muscle is replaced by fibrous scar tissue, which does not contract or function like healthy muscle. Similarly, in the nervous system, injuries to neurons often result in scar tissue formation by glial cells, which inhibits regeneration and functional recovery.
What is an organ such as the human liver is made up of?
liver is made uo of what tissue
