Alcoholic Liver Cirrhosis: Major Genetic Advance

Srilatha B

Abstract

ABSTRACT Liver is a large organ with an important job in your body. It filters the blood of toxins, breaks down proteins, and creates bile to help the body absorb fats. When a person drinks alcohol heavily over the course of decades, the body starts to replace the liver’s healthy tissue with scar tissue.
