Fibrosis is not irreversible[edit]
At about 0:45, the written text and audio both indicate that the process of fibrosis is irreversible. Even if the intent were to say that it's cirrhosis that is irreversible, that's not true either (and such a message may be inappropriately distressing for a person with cirrhosis). There are numerous reports of liver fibrosis and even cirrhosis regression, summarized in papers like this one at PMID 26206574. Certainly there are conditions where regression has not been demonstrated - but those failures don't make it a rule. soupvector (talk) 05:14, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
