Question for [livejournal.com profile] 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.

Still your faithful whipping IT boy,

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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.
