Were you looking for information about Cirrhosis? Cerosis of the liver is a common misspelling and variation of cirrhosis.
Cirrhosis is a condition in which large areas of the liver become badly scarred -- usually permanently. This causes the liver to shrink and harden. The condition can be caused by things like infections, drug and/or alcohol abuse, or a blocked bile duct; it can also occur as the result of many long-term liver diseases, such as different types of hepatitis or medical conditions people are born with. The treatment for cirrhosis depends on the cause of the cirrhosis and the other problems a person is experiencing.
