-Fibrosis is the scarring of the liver
-It occurs after a person experiences injury or inflammation in the liver
-Once injury occurs, our wound healing cells, collagen and glycoprotein, build up in the liver and continues the building process with every injury, which causes scarring tissue.
-Eventually, after many repairs our liver cells no longer repair themselves.
-Normal liver (Stage 0): No scarring, our livers main job is to filter the blood that comes from the digestive tract before passing it to the rest of the body. It detoxifies chemicals and metabolizes drugs.
-Stage 1: The liver is starting to show mild scarring
-Stage 2: The liver has moderate scarring that is beginning to branch out.
-Stage 3: The liver scarring has become more severe, scarred areas are spreading and connecting.
