A member asked:

My dad has cirrhosis of the liver, what are his options?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Raj Vuppalanchi answered

Specializes in Hepatology

Hepatologist: If the cirrhosis is still stable, perhaps treatment geared toward the cause should be addressed. If it is advanced and signs of liver failures exist, then hepatologist referral and evaluation for a liver transplant are options.
