A member asked:
My father's liver is fibrotic. he's had hep c for many years but now it's cured. does he have cirrhosis? what's life expectancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Well : Fibrosis implies Cirrhosis of the liver. The best thing is to get staging advice from a gastroenterologist liver specialist we cannot give exact life expectancy,Life expectancy is shortened by any chronic significant illness like chronic liver disease or cirrhosis
