Understanding Liver Cirrhosis and Its Dangers

Your liver is the ultimate filter, but once it turns to stone, there is no going

back. That is exactly what happens in cirrhosis. It starts with inflammation,

usually from hepatitis or alcohol, killing off healthy cells until they are replaced by

useless scar tissue. When this happens, your body literally cannot detox. You turn yellow,

your belly fills with fluid, and toxins build up until you get confused.

The pressure gets so high that veins in your throat can actually burst. Skip the Tylenol

and alcohol combo, because protecting your liver is way easier than fixing a broken one.
