Hi welcome to health care magic.... Yes hepatitis B and cirrhosis connected to each other... Chronic hepatitis b can lead cirrhosis on its long course.... After few years. .... So if cirrhosis is present than final treatment can be liver transplantation... Stem cells therapy also available at few higher center but effectiveness must be evaluated according to case.... For cirrhosis first do USG for confirmation and than if needed for portal hypertension beta blocker can be given... Daily take grined spinach and carrot juice.... Regular follow up needed in your case... Advise : Consult gastroenterologist for examination and above work up.... Take care....
