Liver Cirrhosis ~ Signs and Symptoms 🦠💉🥼📌

 🟣 Liver Cirrhosis – Signs & Symptoms

Liver cirrhosis is a chronic, irreversible condition where no

rmal liver tissue is gradually replaced by scar tissue (fibrosis). This scarring blocks blood flow and prevents the liver from performing vital functions such as detoxification, protein production, digestion, and metabolism. Symptoms may be mild initially but worsen as liver damage progresses.
