    Liver Cirrhosis Etiology

    Uploaded by

    noronisa talusob
    The document discusses the etiologies and processes of liver cirrhosis, congestive heart failure (CHF), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). For liver cirrhosis, the causes include alcohol, viruses, and toxins which destroy liver cells leading to inflammation, fibrosis, scarring, and blocked blood flow causing portal hypertension. For CHF, heart damage and overload leads to decreased contraction and dilation, causing fluid overload, edema, and reduced output. For COPD, smoking, infections, and pollutants cause inflammation and increased permeability resulting in mucus hypersecretion and persistent coughing.
