Cirrhosis is a degenerative disease of liver in which liver gradually hardens and dries up as its cells are replaced by fibrous tissue. The scar tissue builds up in the liver and this leads to change in structure of liver which blocks the blood flow. Cirrhosis can cause varicose veins which can rupture and cause to internal bleeding. Consuming too much alcohol ultimately leads to liver failure.
