Cirrhosis
Cirrhosis is advanced liver damage in which healthy tissue is progressively replaced by scar tissue, which gradually impairs its functioning.
Possible manifestations: fatigue, loss of appetite, swelling in the abdomen or legs, yellowish coloring of the skin and eyes, and a greater tendency to bruise.
Associated factors: it can be related to prolonged alcohol use, certain liver infections, and fatty liver, among others.
Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist and the internist are the main references for its evaluation and follow-up; a general practitioner can provide guidance at the initial visit. If you have symptoms suggesting a liver problem or you have risk factors, it is advisable to have a professional check the condition of your liver.
