Cirrhosis, also known as liver cirrhosis, hepatic cirrhosis, chronic liver failure, chronic hepatic failure, and end-stage liver disease, is a chronic condition of the liver in which the normal functioning tissue, or parenchyma, is replaced with scar tissue and regenerative nodules as a result of chronic liver disease.

The facts on the card

The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.

Damage to the liver leads to repair of liver tissue and subsequent formation of scar tissue.
Over time, scar tissue and nodules of regenerating hepatocytes can replace the parenchyma, causing increased resistance to blood flow in the liver's capillaries, the hepatic sinusoids, and consequently portal hypertension, as well as impairment in other aspects of liver function.
The disease typically develops slowly over months or years.

Why it is Epic

Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Cirrhosis article was read about 670,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 88 and blocks with 100: each hit it takes is cut by 40 %.
