Discussion: What are the practical consequences of having cirrhosis of the liver?

Patients with cirrhosis of the liver most often function with the liver function of single-digit percentages! The liver has an excellent regenerative capacity, but cirrhosis patients often pass the point of no return. In this state, the liver cannot recover on its own. Cirrhosis of the liver means that usually, within a few years, a liver transplant will be required. The alternative of self-healing treatment is not offered as a treatment option.
