Don'tknow you : Severe cirrhosis of the liver, from whatever cause, e.g. Alcohol, infection, drug effects, autoimmune, fatty change, etc. Is pretty much not reversible ( not very reversible). Scarring of the liver is mostly a one way street. Can have " compensated" cirrhosis for years. Severe cirrhosis is a serious disease, should see specialist, get on a transplant list. No alcohol, minimal meds if possible..

Liver cirrhosis: Liver cirrhosis suggests that the liver is scarred beyond repair. It will not recover, but you can live with it if you do not develop complications related to portal hypertension or encephalopathy. Ultimately, liver transplantation fixes the problem but not without risk. You should discuss your options with your hepatologist.

No/maybe: Cirrhosis of the liver is not reversible. It may not require a transplant though. It depends if you can take measures to keep it from getting worse.
