[|Human|] Hello,  four years back my mother had been detected with fatty liver disease which has of late turned into Liver Cirrhosis - grade B.  Just wanted to know is the damage repairable?  What all life style changes she needs to make.?  How long can a patient survive with proper diet and changes in lifestyle.  She is 67 years old.
[|AI|]  Welcome at Chat Doctor I have gone through your query and being your doctor I completely understand your health concerns.... What is the cause of cirrhosis??? HBV or HCV or metabolic cause or alcohol??? Are you saying Child Pugh B cirrhosis???  In child B cirrhosis life expectancy for next five years is greater than 50%.  It also depends upon the cause of cirrhosis too.  Once cirrhosis has occurred it is irreversible, but you can stop it from further progression, and you can decrease the complication by taking steps at appropriate time.  Tell her to decrease the salt intake and meat too. She can take fish twice a week. She should use vegetables and fruits and avoid constipation. Use regular laxatives. And do meet your hepatologist for proper workup and management...she needs blood tests like Lots, PT, INR. . She should undergo endoscopy and colonoscopy too to rule any varices... Stay safe and get well soon Regards Chat Doctor.
