Understanding alcoholic cirrhosis
Learn about the seriousness of alcoholic cirrhosis and how The Liver Hope Foundation offers vital support and resources for those affected.
What is alcoholic cirrhosis?
Alcoholic cirrhosis is severe scarring of the liver caused by long-term heavy alcohol use. Over time, repeated damage replaces healthy liver tissue with scar tissue, making it difficult for the liver to function correctly. This can lead to serious complications such as fluid buildup, internal bleeding, confusion, liver failure, and even death.
