Cirrhosis of the Liver
Cirrhosis is a liver disease
marked by the development of scar tissue and nodules, which eventually leads to
loss of liver function. Cirrhosis is a serious disease that changes
the structure of the liver so that it cannot function properly. One of the
biggest problems with cirrhosis is that less blood flows through the liver, and
the toxins that are normally eliminated can now poison the body. The
liver is responsible for metabolizing various foods and production certain
substances needed by the body.
