A member asked:
I wanted to know is cirrhosis the same as chronic liver failure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably: we don't use 'chronic liver failure', really - vs very much do use acute liver failure. but yes, I would imagine they'd mean the same thing if someone has chosen to use this term.
