What Is The Treatment For Alcoholic Cirrhosis?
Can HCC, Cirrhosis be completely cured? My father is suffering from alcholic cirrhosis and HCC, ascites.Doctors of our country told that it cant be cured. Liver once damaged by cirrhosis couldn't be revived. Is there any treatment available in Ayurveda to cure this disease.

Hello Binay
Unfortunately, since cirrhosis is a scarring of liver tissue, it can't be reversed--there is no cure, in other words.
Fortunately, the rest of his liver has the ability to regenerate so if he completely abstains from any alcohol consumption, he may be able to live for several years.
The other alternative would be a liver transplant.
