Liver is an important organ that plays a vital role in your body. It makes enzymes to help digest, filter toxins from blood, fight infections and store nutrients and sugar. Cirrhosis is a late stage of liver fibrosis.

Other symptoms of cirrhosis can develop as the disease get worse, such as jaundice, enlargement of the mammary glands in men (hormonal imbalance), severe bad breath, yellowish nodules on the body (especially near the eyelid) coughing and vomiting with blood and hair loss.

A healthy life style, including keeping a healthy diet and proper body weight, reducing the risk of hepatitis, and staying away from alcohol, can help low down your risk of getting liver cirrhosis.
