A member asked:

How can we cure edema..have hepc and cirohsis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No cures: This is a complication of severe liver disease. Support stocking and diuretics can help but you need to speak with the doctor treating your liver disease about the best way to approach the edema. There are no cures short of a liver transplant.
