Affected by or suffering from cirrhosis, a progressive liver disease that causes scarring and liver failure.
From 'cirrhose' (adjective) plus the past participle ending '-ed,' creating an adjective that indicates a state of having cirrhosis. The root remains Greek 'kirrhos' (orange-yellow).
A cirrhosed liver has so much scar tissue that it can barely function—it's like a once-healthy sponge that's been burned and hardened, losing its ability to absorb and process things. The scary part is that you can lose up to 80% of your liver function before symptoms appear.
