What happens to the liver when cirrhosis develops?
Cirrhosis is a consequence of chronic liver disease, most commonly caused by alcoholism, Hepatitis's B and C, and fatty liver disease, although there are other causes., not all of which are known.
The disease causes liver tissue to be replaced by unhealthy tissues such as fibroids, scar tissue, and regenerative nodules, which are lumps that occur as a result of damaged tissue being regenerated (this is NOT a form of cancer though). Common symptoms include fluid retention in the abdominal cavity, bleeding under the skin, speckling on the hands and abdomen, loss of sexual function, enlarged breast tissue in both men and women, mental confusion, and in extreme cases, coma.
The disease is usually irreversible, but can be prevented form getting any worse and complications arising from it can be avoided. In extreme cases though, the only option to save the patient's life is a liver transplant.

What does it mean to have a Well-differentiated hepatocellular liver tumor?
It means that the hepatic tumor cells closely resemble the real and "healthy" hepatic cells. When talking of tumors, the term "well-differentiated" is a "good" indicator. Cells "differentiate" one from the others in order to accomplish their function... for example, pneumonic cells are way different from hepatic cells. They don't have the same function, so they need to undergoing a process "to differentiate" themselves, according to their function. "Poorly differentiated", on the other hand, means that tumor cells do no resemble the tissue where they arose from, and that is, of course, not good at all. One last thing. When talking of hepatocellular tumor, you don't need to say "liver", because the prefix hepato means "liver".

What major role does the liver have in working with the kidneys?
The liver performs over 500 different functions, most of them are associated with its main function as a filter. The kidneys perform fewer functions, but they are just as vital as the liver. If either of these organs stop functioning, death would soon follow.
In addition to filtration of impurities and metabolic toxins from the blood, the liver also plays a role in digestion and metabolism. In digestion, the liver produces bile which is stored in the gall bladder and then delivered into the first portion of the small intestine called the duodenum. The main job of bile is to breakdown fat by a process known as emulsification. In metabolism, the liver stores sugar in the form of glycogen. When the body needs energy, the pancreas releases glucagon, which is a hormone that tells the liver to turn the stored glycogen into glucose (sugar) and release it into the blood stream for the body to use.
