Do I have liver cirossis?
Hi! Alcoholic cirrhosis usually develops after more than a decade of heavy drinking. The amount of alcohol that can injure the liver varies greatly from person to person. When scar tissue replaces healthy cells, liver function starts to fail and a person may experience the symptoms you motioned. See your doctor immediately. Liver cirrhosis is very serious disease. Liver damage from cirrhosis cannot be reversed, but treatment can stop or delay further progression and reduce complications. Symptoms you mentioned can be signs of some other disease. Maybe you don’t have cirrhosis.
