Alcoholic cirrhosis

Alcoholic cirrhosis is caused by chronic heavy drinking. It is the end stage of alcoholic liver. The occurrence of alcoholic cirrhosis is related to the drinking style, sex, genetic factors, nutritional status, and whether he was infected with hepatitis virus. A large amount of drinking at a time is more harmful than a small amount of drinking at a time, and daily drinking is more harmful than intermittent drinking. Women who drink alcohol are more likely to develop alcoholic liver disease than men. Factors such as malnutrition, protein deficiency, and chronic hepatitis B or C infection all increase the risk of cirrhosis.
