Cirrhosis develops through 4 different stages, the degree is increasing gradually and there are different threats to the patient. When in stage 4 cirrhosis, liver cells are completely damaged, liver disease has progressed to the end stage, at this time the liver is no longer functional.

Grade 4 cirrhosis is also known as decompensated cirrhosis or ascites cirrhosis. This is the final stage, the liver cells are completely damaged, the liver disease has progressed to the final stage, at this time the liver is no longer functional, the disease is getting worse and worse, and the patient has to face serious health problems. other pathological symptoms or manifestations of complications caused by cirrhosis.
