Cirrhosis of liver. Cirrhosis is a consequence of chronic liver disease characterized by replacement of liver tissue by fibrosis, scar tissue and regenerative nodules (lumps that occur as a result of a process in which damaged tissue is regenerated) leading to progressive loss of liver function. Cirrhosis is most commonly caused by alcoholism, hepatitis B and C, and fatty liver disease but has many other possible causes. Some cases are idiopathic, i.e., of unknown cause.

Usage:

Yeah, he's got a fatty liver. What caused it? Well, it could be hereditary or it could be the quart of gin he's consumed every day for the past twenty years.
