You develop a condition called Cirrhosis, a life threatening disease. It causes the liver to function improperly. It cannot effectively break down waste products, is unable to produce adequate bile salts, can not remove toxins effectively or process drugs. Scar tissue also blocks the flow of blood through the portal vein.

Scar tissue causes that section of the kidney to lose function that can never be regained. There may be blood or puss in the urine if the scar tissue is caused by an obstruction, and a dull pain may be noticed. Inflamed tissue may be removed to remove the blockage and prevent the creation of more scar tissue.
