What is the life expectancy of someone with cirrhosis?

Answer by  Connie45 (1110)

It depends on how advanced the cirrhosis is and how well the person is taking care of his body/liver; i.e., NO alcohol watsoever and a healthful diet.

That depends mainly on the person's overall health. Some people only live a few months while some people live a few years. Liver transplants can be lifesaving. Good medical care and good nutrition can lengthen the life span.

The life expectancy of a person with cirrhosis varies depending on the severity of the cirrhosis. A person with mild cirrhosis may not have symptoms and may have a fairly normal lifespan. However, someone with severe cirrhosis may only have months to live after diagnosis. There is no set answer.

The life expectancy of a person with cirrhosis depends on how it has progressed. If caught early and the doctor's instructions are followed, one can live many years with this condition. It is important for the patient not to even go near alcohol and to lower your acidic food intake.
