Liver Cirrhosis Causes

Major clinical and lifestyle-related factors that commonly contribute to the development of liver cirrhosis.

Alcoholic Cirrhosis

Long-term heavy alcohol use damages liver cells, causing inflammation and scarring.

Chronic Viral Hepatitis

Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C infections are major global causes of cirrhosis.

Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)

Common in people with obesity, diabetes, and high cholesterol levels.

Autoimmune Liver Diseases

The immune system mistakenly attacks healthy liver cells, causing chronic inflammation.

Genetic & Metabolic Disorders

Conditions like Wilson's disease or hemochromatosis damage liver tissue over time.

Toxins & Medicines

Long-term exposure to harmful chemicals or certain medications can lead to liver damage.

Cryptogenic Cirrhosis

Cryptogenic cirrhosis is a form of cirrhosis where the exact cause is unknown. Think of it as a “mystery scar” on the liver—advanced damage is present, but it cannot be clearly linked to alcohol use, viral infection, or a known disease.
