Cirrhosis Clinic
Cirrhosis Clinic
We also arrange for special clinic for all types of cirrhosis patients on every Second Friday of each month. On that day we try to educate patients and their relatives about what is cirrhosis? what are its causes? How can we prevent it? What are its complications? importance of Endoscopy, what are alarm symptoms or signs? and when hospitalization required?
Cirrhosis is severe scarring of the liver. This serious condition can be caused by many forms of liver diseases and conditions, such as hepatitis or chronic alcoholism.
Each time your liver is injured — whether by excessive alcohol consumption or another cause, such as infection — it tries to repair itself. In the process, scar tissue forms. As cirrhosis gets worse, more and more scar tissue forms, making it difficult for the liver to do its job. Advanced cirrhosis is life-threatening.
The liver damage caused by cirrhosis generally can’t be undone. But if liver cirrhosis is diagnosed early and the underlying cause is treated, further damage can be limited. In rare cases, it may be reversed.
