A member asked:
Mom has been a terrible alchoholic all her life. is there any treatment for cirrhosis that these doctors might not be thinking about?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
?transplant?: The best treatment for cirrhosis for patients who can have it is a liver transplant. Most centers are reluctant to transplant a chronic alcoholic who will then proceed to damage the new liver. Her alcholism shoujld be treated in addition to her liver disease.
