Scarring of the liver, also known as liver fibrosis, is the gradual accumulation of scar tissue in the liver due to repeated injury or inflammation. This condition develops when the liver attempts to repair and replace damaged cells, resulting in the formation of fibrous tissue. Over time, excessive scar tissue can impair liver function, potentially leading to cirrhosis, a severe form of scarring where normal liver tissue is replaced by non-functional scar tissue. Common causes of liver fibrosis include chronic alcohol consumption, viral hepatitis (such as hepatitis B and C), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and autoimmune liver diseases. Other contributing factors may include prolonged exposure to certain medications, toxins, or genetic conditions that affect the liver. Symptoms of liver fibrosis may not be noticeable in the early stages but can include fatigue, weakness, and abdominal discomfort as the condition progresses. Treatment for liver fibrosis focuses on addressing the underlying cause to prevent further damage and reduce scarring. For example, antiviral medications can treat hepatitis, while lifestyle changes such as weight loss, a healthy diet, and avoiding alcohol can help manage NAFLD and alcoholic liver disease. In cases of advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis, treatment may involve medications to manage complications, such as portal hypertension or ascites, and regular monitoring for liver cancer. In severe cases, a liver transplant may be necessary if the liver is too damaged to function properly. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for slowing or halting the progression of liver fibrosis.
