This is what happens with someone who has
liver disease:
The liver cells become damaged, from any one or a
number of different causes (about 30 or more).
When the liver cells become damaged, the immune
system of the body responds to this damage and causes
inflammation to develop inside the liver. (This will
cause the liver to enlarge in size). If the cause can
be found and possibly stopped, the liver cells may
heal and the problem can be reversed. If not, it will
progress to where the liver cells die off. When the
liver cells die, scar tissue forms inside the liver that
will block the flow of blood through the liver on its
way back to the heart and also block the flow of
blood to the other functioning liver cells and they
will die off, also.
The liver cells are what does all the functions of the liver.
When the liver cells are damaged and die off, these functions
start to deteriorate and more symptoms and signs of the
disease tend to occur then.
Cirrhosis is an irreversible, progressive disease that the
doctor can only try to slow down.
