Cirrhosis And Death Of The Liver

One of the most common disorders of the liver is cirrhosis. Cirrhosis is when hard scar tissue replaces soft, healthy, tissue resulting in the scarring of the liver. Death of the liver cells occurs, which is followed by production of fibrous tissue and regeneration of the liver cells in lumps and nodules. The nodules distort the normal structure of the liver and prevent the easy flow of blood through the liver.
