Abstract

Introduction: The liver is a multifaceted organ crucial for metabolic processes and various 
biochemical activities, including metabolic regulation, excretion, secretion, storage, and 
detoxification. Liver cirrhosis represents the last stage of liver fibrosis, marked by developing 
regenerative nodules surrounded by fibrous septa due to persistent hepatic injury. While 
alcoholism and hepatitis B or C infections are prominent causative factors, diverse elements such 
as advanced age (age >50 years), obesity, insulin resistance/type 2 diabetes, gastrointestinal 
disorders, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia collectively contribute to its pathogenesis
