Guest guest Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Cirrhosis does not form in spots, the entire liver degrades at the same rate, at the same time.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 They make one incision and then take several samples from the liver. The more they take the better the diagnose will be. The liver has no feeling of pain, just the liner.
