Cirrhosis of the Liver Ano

Cirrhosis of the liver is a chronic liver disease characterized by restructuring of the liver parenchyma, atrophy of its cells, and fibrosis. The main etiological factor is chronic infection with viruses B (HBV) or C (HCV), less often autoimmune hepatitis. A common cause of death is bleeding from varicose veins of the esophagus and stomach during exacerbations of the disease and rupture of the portal vein of the liver.
