Dear Friend.
To tell you exactly what you have , we need to see your reports.
But with the information available , i must tell you that , decision for liver transplantation would be based on your reports and cause of your cirrhosis.
If your cirrhosis has been decompensated like if you have developed jaundice , varices , encephalopathy , ascitis , than you either get a new liver or you should be taking medications properly.
Attcah your all reports , we would be able to help you in a better way , once we see your reports.
Good Luck.
