Hello.

Thank you for the query.

Can you please specify what kind of sumptoms do you have? If you have any recent blood work please also attach it. Do you know the reason of your liver failure? Is it due to alcohol, virus, tumor?

Without this informations it is hard to help you.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Brief Answer:
You should consult hepatologist.

Detailed Answer:
There are some medicines which can give positive effect. But for a long term treatment, liver transplantation seems the only treatment for you if the HepC is inactive right now.
In encephalopathy treatment, Lactulose, Rifaximine, Neomicin and Metronidazole can be used. You should discuss it with your doctor. Hepatologist is the right address for you.
