Introduction
Within this assignment we will talk about the definition, symptoms, causes, effects and treatments of Liver Cirrhosis. The case study is about a forty-two-year-old Simon who is an accountant, he is married with two teenage sons. Due to the stress of Simons job he unwinds at night with a drink or two or maybe three.
