Scarring: Cirrhosis of the liver is where there is extensive scarring of the liver caused by repeated injuries to the liver. There are many complications, including bleeding, liver failure, jaundice, and confusion. Liver transplant is sometimes needed for a cure. Seek medical attention if you have this as management is complicated.
