Cirrhotic patients are individuals who have advanced liver disease characterized by scarring and loss of liver function. This condition often results from chronic liver diseases such as hepatitis, excessive alcohol consumption, or other factors causing liver damage. Cirrhosis can lead to serious complications such as liver failure, portal hypertension, and increased risk of liver cancer. Research in this area typically focuses on understanding the underlying mechanisms of cirrhosis, developing new treatment strategies, and improving the management of complications associated with the disease.
