A member asked:
I have 2 spider angioma. i am worried about cirrhosis. i drink on weekend with some weeks on and off. i had normal fibrosure, cmp, cbc test after i had these marks.my gastro appointment is 2 months away. is this cirrhosis?

Spider angiomas can occur for reasons other than cirrhosis. If you have no history of hepatitis, alcoholism or other liver problems then there is no urgency. Cirrhosis takes a long time to develop for the liver has remarkable regenerative power. A few drinks on weekends at your age and no other problems, your chances of cirrhosis are extremely low. Wishing you well
