Two major causes of cirrhosis of the liver are:
A
a high-fat diet and obesity.
B
excessive vitamin A intake and portal hypertension.
C
hepatitis and alcoholism.
D
renal colic and cystitis.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Common causes include excessive drinking of alcohol, hepatitis B and C virus infections, and fatty liver that’s caused by obesity and diabetes. Drinking alcohol if you already have another condition that causes liver damage can increase your risk of cirrhosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cirrhosis is usually a result of liver damage from conditions such as hepatitis B or C, or chronic alcohol use. The damage done by cirrhosis typically cannot be undone. But if caught early enough and depending on the cause, there is a chance of slowing it with treatment.

Detailed explanation-3: -Alcohol may cause swelling and inflammation in your liver, or something called hepatitis. Over time, this can lead to scarring and cirrhosis of the liver, which is the final phase of alcoholic liver disease. The damage caused by cirrhosis is unfortunately irreversible.

Detailed explanation-4: -drinking a large amount of alcohol in a short amount of time (binge drinking) can cause fatty liver disease and, less commonly, alcoholic hepatitis. drinking more than the recommended limits of alcohol over many years can cause hepatitis and cirrhosis, the more serious types of ARLD.

Detailed explanation-5: -Drinking too much alcohol is not the only way to develop liver disease-in fact, many people who are diagnosed with liver disease don’t drink at all. But, in the United States, alcohol is the second most common cause of liver cirrhosis (late-stage liver scarring) after hepatitis C.
