is liver cirrhosis completely curable?

ALCOHOLISM ADDICTION 3 Comments »

my dad has liver cirrhosis due to alcohol intake. the doctor has said that a small part of the liver is damaged. i want to know if cirrhosis of liver is completely curable? i have found a lot of sites that say that cirrhosis is not curable but preventable from worsening. if my dad completely stops alcohol intake then is he free from any danger. is it possible that the cirrhosis stops from spreading further? also is it possible that by partial hepatectomy of the diseased part and then subsequent natural regeneration of that part, the cirrhosis is curable?

My left lobe of my liver has become non-functional 4 years after the onset of cirrhosis, should it be removed?

ALCOHOLISM ADDICTION 2 Comments »

Although I have not drank any alcohol in 4.8 years, the atrophy of cirrhosis scar tissue has stooped all blood flow through the left lobe of my liver and is now very small in size after initially being enlarged. Does it need to be removed. I also have chronic pancreatitus (16 acute attacks over last 4 years) and my gallbladder was also removed. I am not diabetic. I need advice. I have a liver biopsy scheduled in 3 weeks.

My Husband has alcohol liver cirrhosos, how long does he have to live and what stage is he in?

ALCOHOLISM ADDICTION 5 Comments »

My husband has alcohol liver cirrhosis and is in the nursing home, he was diagnosed 2 months ago. He has been in and out of the hospital. All does is sleeps most of the day and is confused most of the time. His muscles seem to be deteriorating. He has his good days and bad days. The bad days scare me cause he sleeps all day and and is really confused and his belly gets hard and enlarges. He also is on dialysis with kidney failure, just a couple of days where is shunt is, it bled for a couple of days. And one day it wouldn’t stop bleeding, they tried everything they could and they finally got it to stop by putting stitches and burning the tear since the blood wouldn’t clot. I just want to know how long he has left cause the doctor doesn’t tell us anything but he said he’d tried everything and they’re nothing else he can do? I wish he would tell us the truth us something instead of hiding everything from us instead of just that. Can someone please answer my questions?

can a 23 year old get cirrhosis of the liver if they have fatty liver disease and drink alcohol?

ALCOHOLISM ADDICTION 3 Comments »

I was diagnosed with a fatty liver as a result of a blood test a few years back and was prescribed Deforming and Lovaza what are these medicines used for? from that day on I have been taking only Lovaza and I refused to take Metformin since it says on the bottle “DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES WHILE TAKING THIS MEDICATION” since I like to drink I ditched the Metformin and drank instead now my Triglycereds are 939 and I am not exactly sure if I still have fatty liver but I have been drinking these two years ever since that test. before I had fatty liver I used to eat greasy foods and junk food I would eat a bunch of Mayonniase with every meal but I didn’t really drink that much so I was thinking that my fatty liver was due to my food choices not the drinking.
I know I wont be able to give up drinking completely since I like the taste of alcohol plus my grandfather drinks alot of beer and vodka and he is 74 years old and he has been drinking for a very long time and has no health problems and also my birthday is in 9 more days and I know I wont be able to handle a birthday party without celebrating which includes drinking
I’m sorry I made a mistake I was prescribed Metformin not deforming
yes I am on supplements I take them about 2 times a day are they helping?
yes I am kind of overweight I weight about 254 pounds but this was a while ago I think I lost some weight but I am not exactly sure how much I weight now since I don’t weigh myself except when I go to the doctor and now I have decreased my drinking I only drink friday through sunday and during the week I might have 1 or 2 beers but nothing else am I improving my drinking habits?
I am taking supplements not drugs
and they are not prescribed my grandfather ordered them from me from a store
