There is no exact figure for the average life expectancy in the early stages of cirrhosis. If the cirrhosis is in the compensated stage, the prognosis is relatively good; if the cirrhosis is in the decompensated stage, the prognosis is relatively poor. When cirrhosis is in the compensated stage, the overall health condition is good, after active treatment, release the cause of cirrhosis, and anti-fibrosis treatment, some cirrhosis can be reversed, and good prognosis can be achieved, and the life expectancy will be relatively long. When cirrhosis is in the decompensated stage, the overall health condition is poor, and it is easy to develop ascites, gastroesophageal varices, enlarged spleen, hepatic encephalopathy and so on, and it is possible to develop into hepatocellular carcinoma, so the prognosis is relatively bad. However, with active treatment, it is still possible to prolong life. Therefore, when you find yourself suffering from liver cirrhosis, you should seek medical treatment in time and under the guidance of physicians to carry out standardized treatment to improve the prognosis.
