You haven't mentioned which investigations you have undergone, Whatever you have mentioned suggest hat you are having XXXXXXX related cirrhosis.For that what you have t do is:
1.Get SGOT/SGPT and lipid profile if abnormal required treatment accordingly
2. If you are obese or overweight, need reduction in weight by doing exercise and diet
3.I don't know which test you have undergone, at least you have to see for treatable causes of cirrhosis like hepatitis B and C and ANA/ SMA for autoimmune disease.

Brief Answer:
This appears to be Child's Score
Detailed Answer:
Hello! Sorry for delay. For staging of cirrhosis a scoring system is used which is calculated by few lab tests and clinical examination known as Child's Score or MELD score. I think they told you about child's score which was 7 in your case which suggest that as per score you are in Child's B category. But Child's B is clear cut indication of liver transplant. But if they were talking about MELD score then > 25 is indication of liver transplant. So clear it from your treating doctor
