How can a doctor treat a severely damaged liver?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends : It depends on what the cause of the liver disease is. For some causes we have specific treatments and some causes we don't. Once the liver reaches the point of cirrhosis, that is usually irreversible. If liver failure then occurs, the only option would be a liver transplant at this time. Hope that helps.
