I had a ct scan of liver 6 months ago due to severe alcoholic hepatitis. no cirrhosis was showing at the time and bloods have now returned to normal range. how likely is cirrhosis? i have remained abstinent. thanks.

Probably OK, but...: This probably means you have stopped drinking, right? If so, congratulations -- keep it up! And if so, it probably means a good prognosis and perhaps low chance of cirrhosis. However, there is no way a distant forum expert can know with certainty. Follow up with your doctor. If any doubt and your doc has not referred you to a liver specialst, that would be a good next step. Good luck.
