  1. a chronic disease interfering with the normal functioning of the liver; the major cause is chronic alcoholism
  2. Cirrhosis is a consequence of chronic liver disease characterized by replacement of liver tissue by fibrosis, scar tissue and regenerative nodules (lumps that occur as a result of a process in which damaged tissue is regenerated), leading to loss of liver function. ...
  3. a chronic problem makes it hard for the liver to remove toxins (poisonous substances) from the body. Alcohol, medications, and other substances may build up in the bloodstream and cause problems. ...
  4. A degenerative disease of the liver ¿ the organ that helps eliminate toxic materials from the body ¿ often caused by alcoholism, but also may result from certain forms of hepatitis. ...
  5. the result of chronic liver disease, where the liver is scarred and no longer functions properly. This causes many complications, including build up of fluid in the abdomen, bleeding disorders, increased pressure in the blood vessels and brain function disorders.
  6. A type of chronic, progressive liver disease in which liver cells are replaced by scar tissue.
  7. Cirrhosis of the liver is characterised by permanent and severe scarring of the liver caused by chronic liver inflammation. Cirrhosis is also the main cause of primary liver cancer.
  8. A progressive disease that causes the liver to scar and stop functioning correctly. It is often caused by long term alcoholic beverage use and/or long term damage to the liver due to infections or hepatitis.
  9. Inflammation of the liver that results in scarring and shrinkage of the liver.
  10. Irreversible scarring of the liver that may occur with chronic hepatitis.
  11. extensive scarring and destruction of the cells in the liver, often due to excessive alcohol intake.
  12. Widespread disruption of normal liver structure by fibrosis and the formation of regenerative nodules that is caused by any of various chronic progressive conditions affecting the liver.
  13. a chronic liver disease involving loss of functioning liver cells, increased resistance of blood flow through the organ, and disturbance of normal tissue architecture; in serious cases, leads to ammonia toxicity.
  14. a condition in which the liver becomes scarred, fibrous and filled with fat, thus reducing its ability to function. Causes include infection (e.g., hepatitis) and excessive alcohol consumption.
  15. a condition in which hardened scar tissue replaces normal liver tissue and impairs the ability of the liver to function
  16. a liver disease that results in FIBROSIS and nodule formation. It can also cause gastrointestinal problems, JAUNDICE and EDEMA. Although irreversible and a common cause of death, cirrhosis can be controlled with VITAMINS, diuretics and beta blockers. ...
  17. a disease of the liver in which the normal lobular structure is replaced by fibrosis and regenerating nodules.
  18. An inflammation of the liver that can increase the risk of certain kinds of gallstones.
  19. Chronic degenerative disease of the liver
  20. the most advanced stage of liver scarring.
  21. Chronic liver disease marked by scarring of liver tissue and eventually liver failure.
  22. a disease of the liver caused by chronic damage to its cells. Bands ofinternal scarring break up the normal structure of the liver. The surviving cells multiplyto form islands of living cells separated by scar tissue (regeneration nodules). ...
  23. Cirrhosis occurs when something destroys the liver cells causing the cells to die. When many cells die, there is scarring throughout the liver. A cirrhotic liver becomes very firm, unlike its normal spongy texture, and can be shrunken in size or enlarged. (top)
  24. Cirrhosis is a liver disease in which the hepatic cells degenerate and the surrounding connective tissues thicken.
  25. a disease of the liver in which fibrous tissue resembling scar tissue is produced as a result of damage and death to the cells. ...
