A member asked:
What can i do if my dad has end-stage liver disease/ liver failure (cirrhosis) how long does he have?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Difficult to predict: Future, but these are serious conditions. A lot depends on cause of his liver disease and if it is treatable and his response to treatment. I have long since given up on trying to predict future transplant is option if it is not malignancy. Best of luck.
