Hepatopathy: any disease of the liver.
Hepatotoxin: a toxin that destroys liver cells.
Cholestasis: stoppage or suppression of bile flow, due to factors within (intrahepatic cholestasis) or outside the liver (extrahepatic cholestasis).
Cirrhosis: a liver disease characterized pathologically by the loss of the normal microscopic lobular architecture and regenerative replacement of necrotic parenchymal tissue with fibrous bands of connective tissue which eventually constrict and partition the organ into irregular nodules. The term is sometimes used to refer to chronic interstitial inflammation of any organ.
Cirrhosis of the liver is actually a group of chronic diseases of the liver. The disease has a lengthy latent period,
usually followed by the sudden appearance of abdominal pain and swelling, hematomyelis, dependent edema,
or jaundice. In advanced states, ascites, pronounced jaundice, portal hypertension, and central nervous system
disorders, which may end in hepatic coma, become prominent.
