Hepatitis B > Cirrhosis
The following information is about Cirrhosis.
Cirrhosis Defined
A serious liver condition characterized by irreversible scarring of the liver that can lead to liver failure and death. Alcohol and chronic viral hepatitis (such as chronic hepatitis B and C) can cause continuous inflammation of the liver, which can lead to excess scar formation or fibrosis. Scarring results in the loss of liver cells and impairs liver function.
This definition is in context to Hepatitis B. See more contextual defintions for Cirrhosis.

- http://www.gas tro.net.au/ban ners/alcohol.h tml: The Australian National Health and Medical Research Council (NH&MRC) has provided guidelines for safe daily drinking limits. The recommended maximum for men is 4 standard drinks per day. For women it is 2 standard drinks per day. One standard drink contains 10 grams of alcohol, and is equivalent to one ordinary beer, a small glass of wine (100 mls) or a nip of spirits (30 mls). More than 6 standard drinks per day for men, and 4 standard drinks for women, is known to cause harm. Long term effects of alcohol on the liver as identified by the NH&MRC include impaired liver functioning, severe pain, inflammation (hepatitis) and cirrhosis.
