A member asked:

I had a liver biopsy done, stage 4 cirrhosis, could you please tell me how bad this is??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very serious: This is so serious that you would do well to have ie read by.a second pathologist. You also need to determine the cause of the cirrhosis. Usually it is partly reversible if you find and can treat the cause.
