When "cirrhosis" is mentioned, most of us understand cirrhosis to be a disease which affects the liver in people who suffer from alcoholism. I decided to post this website here because I felt that this article gives a good account of how the liver functions.

When posting messages, such as this article, it is not possible to please everyone - because of our divergent backgrounds.
