4 Stages of Liver Cirrhosis

Stages of Cirrhosis

Liver cirrhosis progresses through four stages, each marked by increasing liver damage and symptoms.

  • Stage 1: Compensated Cirrhosis

    Mild liver scarring with no noticeable symptoms. Liver still functions relatively well.

  • Stage 2: Worsening Portal Hypertension

    Increased blood pressure in liver veins causes swelling and digestive discomfort.

  • Stage 3: Decompensated Cirrhosis

    Serious complications appear such as ascites, jaundice, and internal bleeding.

  • Stage 4: End-Stage Liver Disease

    Liver function severely declines. Patients may require a liver transplant.
