How long a patient with liver disease can live is related to the severity of the liver disease, whether complications arise, whether the patient has other underlying diseases, whether there is a family history, and many other factors, and the survival of a patient cannot be judged by one factor alone. If the patient is an ordinary liver disease carrier, or an ordinary quiescent hepatitis, some patients can live for decades without affecting the survival rate. However, if the patient has entered the stage of cirrhotic decompensation, which is more severe, the survival period is only about five years. If liver cancer is also complicated, the survival period is usually about one year. Therefore, patients with liver disease who are known to have hepatitis must go to the local hospital for treatment in a timely manner to prevent further progression of liver disease, which can affect the survival rate.
