CirrhosisSymptoms.net explains what the most common signs of liver cirrhosis are, and what the complications of cirrhosis can be if the disease is allowed to progress.

Visitors to CirrhosisSymptoms.net will learn that the liver is also important because of its ability to synthesize hundreds of different substances needed by the body for countless operations, every day.

One of the primary causes of liver disease is chronic alcohol consumption. CirrhosisSymptoms.net encourages visitors to reduce their consumption of alcohol for a healthier liver and overall better quality of life.
