Symptoms and Causes
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. Cirrhosis is most commonly caused by alcoholism, hepatitis B and C, and fatty liver disease, but has many other possible causes. Some cases are idiopathic, i.e., of unknown cause.
Home remedies
- Spanish scientists found that eating dark chocolate lowers blood pressure in the liver and reduces damage to the blood vessels of patients with cirrhosis.
- Preliminary studies suggest Milk Thistle supplements may be beneficial for people with cirrhosis. It may improve liver function. More research is needed, however, because many of the studies conducted so far on milk thistle and cirrhosis have been poorly designed.
- Capillary Wormwood : scoparone, capillartemisin, capillarisin, scopoletin, isoscopoletin, artepillin, p-hydroxyacetophenone, esculetin, and β-sitosterol are effective for liver cirrhosis
- Coffee is helpful to fight diabetes, parkinsons disease, heart disease, gallstone disease, liver cancer and cirrhosis.
- Curcumin inhibit the development of TAA-induced liver cirrhosis mainly due to its anti-inflammatory activities and not by a direct anti-fibrotic effect.
Warnings
Having cirrhosis is a risk factor for developing hepatocellular carcinoma (primary Liver Cancer)
