    Cirrhosis is a late-stage liver disease where healthy liver tissue is replaced by scar tissue which impairs the liver's ability to function properly. Common causes of cirrhosis include chronic alcohol abuse, hepatitis B/C infections, fatty liver disease, and genetic disorders. Symptoms can include nausea, fatigue, bruising easily, swelling, jaundice, and confusion. Risk factors include heavy drinking, obesity, viral hepatitis, and diabetes. Complications of cirrhosis involve issues like high blood pressure, infection, bleeding, and liver cancer. Prevention focuses on not drinking alcohol, eating healthy, maintaining a healthy weight, and reducing hepatitis risk.
