A member asked:
Is liver cirrhosis completely curable?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Some scarring will always remain even if you can remove the original cause (alcohol, hemochromatosis, wilson's, hepatitis b / c, autoimmunity). However, some cirrhotic livers have enough scar regression so that you can have a happy life.
