Why does hepatitis B cause cirrhosis?

Patient's question:

My uncle himself is a hepatitis B patient, but his hepatitis B virus had already been controlled since it was discovered two years ago. He loves to drink beer, but he had always been fine before. It's unclear why, but he was suddenly diagnosed with liver cirrhosis.

Doctor's answer:

Viral hepatitis is the most common and severe cause of liver damage. The longer the hepatitis B virus remains in the body of a patient with, the greater the threat it poses to their health. The cause of hepatitis B liver cirrhosis is the virus's continuous replication, and without treatment, it can lead to cirrhosis.
