Patients with early stage cirrhosis can basically live for 5 years, or even longer than 5 years or more. As long as the patient can actively cooperate with the doctor with medication, especially in ordinary life to remove the cause of the disease, you can slow down the progress of cirrhosis. If the more common cirrhosis is caused by viral hepatitis, like hepatitis B cirrhosis, the key to its treatment is to cooperate with the doctor to actively antiviral treatment, and to insist on the antiviral. If patients can adhere to the daily use of antiviral drugs, it is difficult for early cirrhosis to progress to advanced cirrhosis. Alcoholic cirrhosis is also common, and if patients with early alcoholic cirrhosis can achieve strict abstinence from alcohol, their prognosis is also very good, and may even be reversed to normal liver function. In short, for patients with early cirrhosis, as long as they can actively cooperate with the treatment, it usually does not have a great impact on the normal life expectancy.
