How long can a person live with advanced cirrhosis of liver? |
How long can a person live with advanced cirrhosis of liver? I found the following statement: If advanced cirrhosis is present and transplantation is not feasible, survival is between one and two years. (Am Fam Physician 2001;64:1735-40.) ent: My husband has a nephew who is 57 diagnosed with cirrhosis about a year ago and he has been in ICU for the past six weeks practically comatose but still alive with liver and now kidney failure. He has been kept on life support. Here is some additional information: Chronic liver disease generally progresses slowly from hepatitis to cirrhosis, often over 20 to 40 years. Some forms of liver disease are nonprogressive or only slowly progressive. Other, more severe forms are associated with scarring and architectural disorganization, which, if advanced, lead to cirrhosis.1 Honey, no matter what you illness is you will live until God gets ready for you. Not one day more, not one day less. GOD Bless You!!!!! That depends. It depends on the person, their overall health besides the cirrhosis, and how they take care of themselves once diagnosed. |
