How Can Liver Cirrhosis Be Treated?
I have a friend that is an alcoholic and she has cirrhosis of the liver. She started puffiness in her face and now has ascites in her abdomen and refuses to go to the doctor. If she does nothing does her life expectancy decrease and what will happen next in the form of symptoms?

Hello,
I think she should go to hospital immediately and all the treatment is to relieve symptoms and increases life expectancy. Her life is at risk.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
