Yes, although it is uncommon. Cirrhosis is a chronic liver disease that occurs when healthy liver is replaced with scar tissue, which can interfere with the liver's ability to function. The most common causes of cirrhosis are long-term alcohol use and chronic viral hepatitis, but it can also be caused by nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, inherited liver diseases, and certain medications

Rare, but unfortunately possible, genetic disorders and alcohol being among common culprits. Establishing with a gastroenterologist specializing in liver disorders will help in better understanding and managing the disease.
