Liver Cirrhosis
Established scarring needs hepatology; we support around it, honestly.
What is Liver Cirrhosis?
Cirrhosis is the point where years of liver damage — from alcohol, hepatitis, fatty liver or other causes — have left permanent scarring that changes how the organ works. People living with it deal with fatigue, fluid retention, itching, and the ongoing worry of complications like variceal bleeding or liver failure. It's a serious diagnosis, and we think it deserves a straight answer rather than false comfort.
How regenerative medicine supports it
We need to be plain from the outset: established cirrhotic scarring does not reverse, and anyone claiming otherwise isn't being honest with you. Our role, where appropriate and always alongside your hepatologist, is limited supportive care — general wellbeing IV therapy and close monitoring of liver function between your specialist appointments. For decompensated cirrhosis, active complications, or transplant assessment, we refer directly to hepatology rather than attempt treatment here.

Liver Cirrhosis — Questions Patients Ask
Can your treatments reverse my cirrhosis?
No. Established scarring in cirrhosis is permanent, and we won't suggest otherwise; our aim is limited supportive care alongside your hepatologist, not a treatment for the scarring itself.
Will you take me on as a patient if I have advanced cirrhosis?
If you have decompensated cirrhosis or complications like ascites or variceal bleeding, we refer you to hepatology rather than manage that here, since it needs specialist inpatient-capable care.
What can you actually offer me at this stage?
Mainly general wellbeing support and closer monitoring between your specialist visits, always with your hepatologist's knowledge and involvement.
Is it safe for me to have IV therapy at all?
It depends heavily on your liver function and fluid status, so we need your recent labs and hepatologist's input before considering anything, and in some cases we'll decline.
Should I still be seeing a liver specialist regularly?
Yes, absolutely, and we won't take you on without that relationship in place — regular hepatology follow-up is essential and not something we replace.
