Based on how disease processes are understood, treatment is established accordingly; this has been the core viewpoint of traditional and contemporary medicine. Cirrhosis, an illness acknowledged for more than 2000 years, has been the cornerstone of Hepatology. However, science and technology changes what we conceive as health and disease. Our knowledge of liver cirrhosis has grown and evolved over time. In the mid-20th century, biochemistry and immunology scientists began developing novel tools aimed to provide practical liver function tests.
