Illustration showing a healthy liver (left) and cirrhotic liver (right). Cirrhosis is a consequence of chronic liver disease characterized by replacement of liver tissue by fibrosis,scar tissue and regenerative nodules (lumps that occur as a result of a process in which damaged tissue is regenerated),leading to loss of liver function. A person with cirrhosis will sometimes have a yellow tinge (jaundice) to their skin; this is due to the liver failing to filter bilirubin,which is green,out of the blood | |
