Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
Well, steroids may be helpful for some liver diseases such as autoimmune hepatitis or sclerosing cholangitis but in other such as cirrhosis or viral hepatitis, it may not be helpful so you should do liver condition reevaluation and see if other medications may be beneficial.
Wish you good health. Regards
