Sclerosis Question
I am fairly new to the forums and so I am hoping to post this correctly. I have recently also found that I could not find any information on sclerosis of the liver. Apparently, I finally realized that what I was truly looking for was cirrhosis of the liver. And, also to answer your question as to what other causes this condition other than liquor consumption. It is from chronic viral hepatitis (types b, c, and d and autoimmune hepatitis). Other causes of cirrhosis include blocked bile ducts, fats in the liver (steatohepatitis), and many inherited diseases. Prolonged exposure to environmental toxins can also lead to cirrhosis. Hopefully, this will answer the question. As far as other research, please search your engines under the correct spelling and you will find quite a bit of items for your listing. Good luck to you and whomever you are doing the research for!
