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.
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.
