Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Cirrhosis is a result of advanced liver disease. It is characterized by replacement of liver tissue by fibrosis (scar tissue) and regenerative nodules (lumps that occur due to attempted repair of damaged tissue).These changes lead to loss of liver function.

It is an irreversible condition.

I would suggest you to
- take rest
- Limit the total fluid intake as advised by your doctor
- take a bland diet
- Avoid oily, fatty food
- I would start tablet frusemide and tablet lasilactone. Your doctor can guide on the exact dosage.

Keep in touch with your doctor . He/she can examine you and correlate clinically.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
