How To Treat Cirrhosis?

Hello,
You do not have to worry about your mother as long as her liver enzymes are within normal and she is not complaining from any symptoms.
Unfortunately, the liver cirrhosis is not curable.. all we can do is to stop it from progressing.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Salah Saad Shoman
