A member asked:
Can a decompensated liver from cirrhosis ever return to a compensated state? i've heard varying answers!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: Not uncommon to have varying answers. Cirrhosis is scar and does not improve. However, function may improve slightly and the addition of medications could turn a decompensated state into a compensated state.
