A member asked:
Just a general doubt: does an early liver fibrosis always progress to cirrhosis or does it get halted if not reversed once the underlying cause is treated, provided the overall liver structure is still intact?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Early fibrosis does not inevitably lead to cirrhosis. It could remain stable or reverse with time depending on the cause and general health status of the person.
