Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
.yes.15 yes ago i was diagnosed with hep c. I am 51yrs old now. I didn t start treatment until 6 yes ago and I couldn t finish it because I went into kidney failure. Now my Dr says I have cirrhosis. I have all the symptoms of liver disease and it seems to get worse every 6 months or so. How long can you live with cirrhosis and can it be cured with natural things.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
There is no cure for livercirrhosis and every people have different genetic material and metabolism so it very hard to tell exact life expectancy. It depends on multiple factors like age, other commodities, habits, and lifestyle. So kindly take gastroenterologist opinion for treatment as soon as possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Bhadresh Lakhani
