A member asked:
How much time a person with compensated cirrhosis of the liver can live?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Really depends: how long has the person has been known to have cirrhosis? any complications to date? 10-15 years is typical for someone fairly early in the course of the disease, and who is indeed well compensated with nl liver function and no end-stage manifestations, and risk factors that have now been modified.
