There are many kinds of liver diseases and conditions. Some, like hepatitis, are caused by viruses. Others can be the result of drugs or drinking too much alcohol. Long-lasting injury or scar tissue in the liver can cause cirrhosis. Jaundice, or yellowing of the skin, can be one sign of liver disease.
ESOPHAGEAL VARICES OVERVIEW. Cirrhosis is a disease in which the liver becomes severely scarred, usually as a result of many years of continuous injury. The most common causes of cirrhosis include fatty liver due to obesity, alcohol abuse, and chronic hepatitis B or C. Varices are expanded blood vessels in the esophagus, the tube that connects the mouth and stomach. Esophageal varices are a common complication of advanced cirrhosis.
