A member asked:
What do you suggest if my dad has cirrhosis, what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get him regular f/u: he needs regular bloodwork, regular cancer and variceal screening, minimize any contributing factors (stop alcohol, treat HCV, etc). many people can live 10-15 years with cirrhosis - depends on where he's at. talk to his gastroenterologist or hepatologist for any specific questions.
