How can we cure liver cirrhosis?

Cirrhosis is scarring of the liver that involves the formation of fibrous (scar) tissue associated with the destruction of the normal architecture of the organ. It is the result of long-standing injury most commonly due to alcohol in excess but there are a number of other important causes (see below).

The destruction of the normal architecture and the loss of liver cells prevents the liver from functioning normally. It plays an important part in digestion of food but it also has a major role in metabolising drugs and making proteins, including those that help the blood to clot.

Cirrhosis is a serious condition. Only 30 per cent of patients with this problem will survive five years after diagnosis and the outlook is worse if the cause is alcohol and the patient continues to drink.
Apart from removing the cause, cirrhosis of the liver cannot be treated. The emphasis is therefore on dealing with and reducing the complications of the disease.

The following approaches are used:


water tablets (diuretics) for the treatment of fluid retention in the legs (oedema) or abdomen (ascites).


vitamins and mineral supplements.


calorie supplements (usually sugar-based drinks) to maintain nutrition.


laxatives (usually a syrupy solution called lactulose) to prevent constipation and to reduce the chances of the poisonous substances from the bowel bypassing the liver and reaching the brain, causing drowsiness, confusion and coma (hepatic encephalopathy).


some patients who have had bleeding from ruptured varicose veins in the lower oesophagus may be put onto a drug called propranolol, which reduces the pressure in those veins and lowers the chances of them bleeding again.


finally, liver transplantation may be considered in patients with end-stage cirrhosis.

You can only prevent it. Don't drink alcohol. Meat also makes your liver work hard. Try eating nicer foods like fruits and vegetables.

the only cure is a liver transplant.dont drink as much and less high fat food.

Quit drinking alcohol. Eat healthier. Exercise.
