A member asked:
Can repetitive hepatitis with jaundice cause cirrhosis or cancer?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes it can: Cirrhosis results from chronic liver damage from infections or from chemicals like excessive use of alcohol. This can lead to development of liver cancer once cirrhosis has developed.
