Yes, certain parasites can lead to cirrhosis, particularly those that cause chronic liver inflammation. For instance, infections from parasites like Schistosoma mansoni can result in portal hypertension and liver fibrosis, ultimately progressing to cirrhosis. Additionally, other parasitic infections that affect the liver, such as those caused by Echinococcus, can also contribute to liver damage over time. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent these complications.
