A member asked:
What is cirrhosis like, can you give me some suggestions on treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a liver doctor: Cirrhosis=stage 4 scarring of the liver. Complications like fluid build up in your abdominal cavity (ascites), confusion (hepatic encephalopathy), and liver cancer (hcc) as well as easy bruising, fatigue and jaundice on occasion (elevated bilirubin) can occur. You need to be followed by a liver doctor who can manage and control the above signs/symptoms. The best treatment is liver transplant.
