How many years can you live with liver disease

There are more types of liver diseases, the specific survival period is related to the type of disease and treatment. Timely treatment of benign lesions has no effect on patients’ life expectancy, but if it progresses to cirrhosis and liver cancer, the survival period is shorter, and the specific time varies from person to person. The most common liver disease in clinic is viral hepatitis B, which is highly contagious. After active and effective antiviral treatment, patients can get the same life expectancy as normal people; if the treatment is not timely or the treatment effect is not good, it may progress to cirrhosis, or even hepatocellular carcinoma, and the patient’s survival will be shorter, or even endanger the patient’s life. Benign liver diseases such as liver cysts, liver adenomas, liver misshapen tumors, etc. have no effect on patients after surgical resection. Patients with cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma can die in a short period of time if they are not treated, and active treatment can prolong the survival period. Liver transplantation is the main treatment for end-stage of various liver diseases, which can improve the survival period of patients with liver diseases, therefore, it is recommended that patients with liver diseases go to the hepatology department of the hospital in time for treatment.
