Cirrhosis is the end‐stage and the turning point in the natural history of liver disease, as is the major determinant of hepatic decompensation and cancer. Chronic viral hepatitis, alcohol abuse and dysmetabolism are the major causes of this condition. However, individuals respond differently to liver damage triggers, and inherited factors and family history have a large role in explaining this variability.

Abstract
Cirrhosis is the end‐stage and the turning point in the natural history of liver disease, as is the major determinant of hepatic decompensation and cancer. Chronic viral hepatitis, alcohol abuse and dysmetabolism are the major causes of this condition. However, individuals respond differently to liver damage triggers, and inherited factors and family history have a large role in explaining this variability.
