A member asked:
Does mild fibrosis of the liver shorten your life span if blood tests are normal & you lead a healthy lifestyle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prognosis: Usually the prognosis of very mild liver fibrosis is good if the causes are addressed and corrected. Causative conditions like alcohol excess, diabetes or prediabetes, viral infection, obesity, hyperlipidemia, certain medications are some of the issues that require correction or ongoing treatment.
