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.
Cirrhosis is an advanced form of liver disease that has many causes, not just hepatitis C (HCV). Alcoholism, hepatitis B, fatty liver disease and other conditions can cause cirrhosis. It is usually irreversible, and in advanced stages, the only treatment is liver transplant. In the US, HCV infection is the most common cause of chronic liver disease, and the most common reason for liver transplantation.
