Question for ikkyu2, but feel free to jump in if you're not: Why do i often, if not always, read "cirrhosis of the liver"? Can you get cirrhosis somewhere else?

What is Cirrhosis?
Cirrhosis is characterized anatomically by widespread nodules in the liver combined with fibrosis. The fibrosis and nodule formation causes distortion of the normal liver architecture which interferes with blood flow through the liver. Cirrhosis can also lead to an inability of the liver to perform its biochemical functions. To understand the pathophysiology of cirrhosis, the normal anatomy and physiology of the liver must first be briefly reviewed.

It seems to me that i did not properly phrase my question. Ut supra, cirrhosis is an affliction of the liver. Therefore, i was wondering if it was possible to get it somewhere else; otherwise, "cirrhosis of the liver" would be a pleonasm.

Use Google?

Suggesting that ronebofh use Google, is like advising the sun to rise in the morning. It's like "his precious." As a matter of fact, he just said, "Yes, Google is my precious." We thinks you should read his question again, yes, we do.

Why should he go reading a Columbia Pres website when he can just ask the guy who works there?

Cirrhosis of the liver is, indeed, brought to you by the Department of Redunancy Department.

Ron, by way of The DICT development group (http://dict.org/), I give you:

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) :

Cirrhosis

\Cir*rho"sis\, n. [NL., fr. Gr. ? orange-colored: cf.
F. cirrhose. So called from the yellowish appearance which
the diseased liver often presents when cut.] (Med.)
A disease of the liver in which it usually becomes smaller in
size and more dense and fibrous in consistence; hence
sometimes applied to similar changes in other organs, caused
by increase in the fibrous framework and decrease in the
proper substance of the organ.

Emphasis mine.
