Cirrhosis of the liver is a chronic, diffuse, degenerative disease in which the parenchyma deteriorates, the lobules are infiltrated with fat and structurally altered, dense perilobular connective tissue forms and often areas of regeneration develop. These regeneration nodules have a reduced blood supply resulting in impaired liver function [1] and [2]. Factors that are taken into account to determine the severity of cirrhosis include serum albumin, prothrombin concentration, serum bilirubin, ascites and encephalopathy. A point system known as the Child's-pough-Turcotte score has been designed to determine the severity of cirrhosis. Depending on the total score, patients are classified as class A (early cirrhosis) through class C (advanced cirrhosis) [3].
