What’s the life expectancy for people with cirrhosis?

Life expectancy depends on several factors including the cause and severity of your cirrhosis, your response to treatments, presence of cirrhosis complications, your age and any other existing general health problems. Ask your liver specialist about your life expectancy since every person is unique, with unique overall health issues and specific liver health issues.

If your cirrhosis is advanced, liver transplantation may be an option. You and your doctors will discuss if this is an option for you.
