Do you know everything about liver cirrhosis? Take this liver cirrhosis quiz, and find how well you know about the disease. Basically, cirrhosis is a very late stage of fibrosis of the liver caused by chronic alcoholism. The damage caused to the liver by cirrhosis can't be undone, but they can stop it from further damage if the patient wants. With this quiz, you can check your knowledge and learn several new things as well. All the best for a perfect score! Also, share the quiz with your friends to see what is their understanding of liver cirrhosis.

Chronic low serum protein levels result in inadequate tissue repair, allowing the esophageal wall to weaken.
The enlarged liver presses on the diaphragm, which in turn presses on the esophageal wall, causing the collapse of blood vessels into the esophageal lumen.
Increased portal pressure causes some of the blood that normally circulates through the liver to be shunted to the esophageal vessels, increasing their pressure and causing varicosities.
The enlarged liver displaces the esophagus toward the left, tearing the muscle layer of the esophageal blood vessels, which allows small aneurysms to form along the lower esophageal vessels.
“The low protein diet will result in reduced clotting.”
“The increased production of bile decreases clotting factors.”
“The liver affected by cirrhosis is unable to produce clotting factors.”
“The required medications reduce clotting factors.”
