Is there a cure for cirrhosis of the liver?

No, there is no cure for cirrhosis. The damage already done to your liver is permanent. However, depending on the underlying cause of your cirrhosis, there may be actions you can take to keep your cirrhosis from getting worse. These actions include:

• Stop drinking alcohol.
• Treat chronic hepatitis (if you have it).
• Avoid medications that stress the liver.
• Eat a healthy, well-balanced, low-fat diet, such as the Mediterranean diet.
