A doctor has provided 1 answer

Varies: A cirrhotic liver may be bigger than, smaller than, or the same size as a healthy one. Food choices are not the key. There are a variety of other reasons. Caring for someone with cirrhosis is difficult, but most forms can be reversed at least partly if a cause can be found and treated.
