Cirrhosis itself is not contagious, mainly depending on the etiology of cirrhosis, such as alcoholic cirrhosis caused by long-term drinking or cirrhosis caused by nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, or autoimmune cirrhosis, and some rare family causes of liver fibrosis are not contagious. However, viral infection, especially liver fibrosis caused by hepatitis B and C, is contagious if the virus in the patient's body is in a relatively high replication state.

Viral hepatitis is an infectious disease caused by a variety of hepatitis viruses, mainly liver lesions. Clinically, anorexia, nausea, epigastric discomfort, liver pain and fatigue are the main manifestations. Some patients may have jaundice, fever and liver damage. Some patients can be chronic and even develop cirrhosis, and a few can develop liver cancer.
