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?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

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
