I want to know more about serosis of the liver,and hepatitis C.? In cirrhosis of the liver, scar tissue replaces normal, healthy tissue, blocking the flow of blood through the organ and preventing it from working as it should. Cirrhosis is the twelfth leading cause of death by disease, killing about 26,000 people each year. Also, the cost of cirrhosis in terms of human suffering, hospital costs, and lost productivity is high. Many people with cirrhosis have no symptoms in the early stages of the disease. However, as scar tissue replaces healthy cells, liver function starts to fail and a person may experience the following symptoms: exhaustion fatigue loss of appetite nausea weakness weight loss abdominal pain spider-like blood vessels (spider angiomas) that develop on the skin As the disease progresses, complications may develop. In some people, these may be the first signs of the disease. Hepatitis C (HCV) is the most prevalent liver disease in the world. The World Health Organization considers Hepatitis C an epidemic. Because Hepatitis C can infect a patient for decades before being discovered, it is often called the "silent" epidemic. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), 20-30% of people with chronic Hepatitis C will eventually face life-threatening symptoms.
