How long can a person live with cirrhosis?

Patient's question:

My father was hospitalized last month and diagnosed with advanced liver cirrhosis, hepatic encephalopathy, spontaneous peritonitis, splenomegaly, ascites, portal hypertension, hypoproteinemia, hyponatremia, and renal insufficiency. He stayed in the hospital for half a month, and the hospital asked him to be discharged. How long do you think he can still live in this condition?

Doctor's answer:

Hello patient, in the early stages of cirrhosis, there may be mild fatigue, abdominal pain, mild liver and spleen enlargement, mild jaundice, and spider angiomas. In the middle and later stages, symptoms such as fatigue, weight loss, dark complexion, reduced urination, and lower limb edema may reappear. It is important to seek follow-up treatment promptly to prevent the condition from worsening. Currently, the most effective scientific therapy for treating cirrhosis is cell-targeted repair therapy. Cell-targeted repair therapy is an effective method for treating cirrhosis and stabilizing liver cells.
