The early episodes of Ain Sehria took a dramatic turn when the father of Adel, portrayed by Essam Omar, suffered a severe health crisis due to liver cirrhosis. The storyline sheds light on a serious medical condition that raises many questions.
The Ramadan 2026 drama also stars Bassem Samra and airs exclusively on ON TV.
What Is Liver Cirrhosis?
Cirrhosis is an advanced stage of liver scarring caused by long-term damage. The liver attempts to repair itself, but scar tissue replaces healthy cells, affecting its structure and function.
The liver plays a vital role in detoxifying the blood, aiding digestion, and producing clotting factors. Early stages may show no clear symptoms, but as the condition progresses, liver efficiency declines.
Causes
Common long-term causes include:
-
Chronic hepatitis B and C infections.
-
Long-term excessive alcohol consumption.
-
Fatty liver disease linked to obesity and diabetes.
-
Autoimmune liver diseases.
-
Genetic disorders causing iron or copper buildup.
Symptoms & Complications
Initial symptoms may include fatigue and loss of appetite. Advanced signs include jaundice, abdominal swelling, leg edema, easy bruising, and confusion due to toxin buildup. Severe complications can involve internal bleeding from enlarged veins in the esophagus.
Diagnosis & Treatment
Doctors rely on blood tests and imaging such as ultrasound or MRI. In some cases, a biopsy is required.
While scarring cannot be fully reversed, treating the underlying cause can slow progression. In advanced cases, liver transplantation may be necessary.
