Cirrhosis of Liver
Cirrhosis of Liver
Cirrhosis is a progressive liver disease where healthy liver tissue is replaced with scar tissue, leading to loss of function. This scarring results from long-term damage caused by hepatitis, alcohol abuse, or fatty liver disease.
As the liver tries to repair itself, more scar tissue forms, disrupting normal blood flow. Over time, it leads to complications like jaundice, bleeding, swelling, and even liver failure if left untreated.
Early detection and lifestyle management are crucial. At Hospital, Dr. Akshay Kulkarni provides advanced diagnostic evaluations and tailored care plans for each patient’s unique needs.
