Abstract
Liver is vulnerable to a wide variety of metabolic, toxic, microbial and circulatory insults. Liver diseases and cirrhosis contribute to 23.59% of mortality in world and ranks 27th as major cause of death in world. In India, it is 2.74 % of all the causes of death. The exact prevalence of cirrhosis is not known because the disease is often silent. Nearly 30% to 40% of cases are discovered at autopsy, indicating that in substantial proportion of people, the disease goes undetected during life. The leading cause of liver disease in India is excess alcohol consumption. The other causes of liver disease and liver cirrhosis are Hepatitis B and C infections, which silently damage the liver over a period of years. There is also an emerging disease of the liver called NASH (or fatty liver), mainly due to 'westernization' of our diet and a sedentary lifestyle, and associated disorders like obesity, diabetes and high triglyceride levels. Alcohol consumption is estimated to cause from 20% to 50% of cirrhosis of the liver, making it one of the commonest causes of cirrhosis. The word cirrhosis comes from the Greek word kirrhos, which means orange yellow. Laennec gave cirrhosis its name kirrhos in 1819 in a brief footnote to his treatise De l’auscultation mediate.
