Cirrhosis of the liver is a disease in which normal functioning living tissue is replaced with fatty and scared tissue. Two major causes of Liver Cirrhosis are Hepatitis C and excessive alcohol consumption over a long period of time. After several years of alcohol abuse the liver will start to decay and this affects the absorption of nutrients the body needs to function properly. The symptoms include nausea, exhaustion, weakness and weight loss. Only a liver transplant may prove to be a cure for the progressive Cirrhoses of the liver.
