Liver damage in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may be hepatic manifestation of RA, associated primary liver disease or hepatotoxic liver disease which developed during the treatment of RA. Liver damage during RA is most common in the form of asymptomatic abnormal liver tests. Occasionally, liver damage may progress to cirrhosis. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29627896/

RA can interfere with liver function in different ways. It is only your medical team that would be able to ascertain in your specific case if there are any direct or indirect connections between RA and cirrhosis in your case.
