LIVER CIRROSIS
In this disease, the liver’s own tissue dies and is replaced by connective tissue. Therefore, the surface of the liver is granular and appears to have many light, dense nodules.
REASONS:
▪️Develops against the background of long-term alcohol intoxication, parasitic infection and viral hepatitis B, C and D (30-40%).
▪️ Less common causes of cirrhosis are biliary tract disease, congestive heart failure, poisoning with various chemicals (hepatotoxins) and drugs.
▪️Infectious factors: chronic viral hepatitis, especially B and hepatitis C, parasitic infections, especially fungal and trematodes (schistosomiasis, opisthorchiasis, candidiasis, aspergillosis). Primary biliary cirrhosis of the liver occurs mainly for no apparent reason. Approximately 10-35% of patients remain uncertain in etiology.
