Relating to, caused by, or affected with cirrhosis; describing a liver or person with liver disease caused by scarring.
From 'cirrhosis' plus the adjective suffix '-ic,' making it an adjective form of the medical condition. The Greek root 'kirrhos' (orange-yellow) remains the ultimate source.
Cirrhotic patients often develop spider veins and a yellowish skin tone called jaundice because their damaged liver can't filter out the yellow pigment (bilirubin) from their blood properly—the body literally shows the damage on the outside.
