Cihorrsis and Melatonin question
Can a person with cihorrsis of the liver take melatonin to help with sleeping?
You may want t ask your question in the cirrhosis of the liver community. This is the Hepatitis C community although there is some overlap between the two groups.
If you are having sleep reversal problems that is definitely a symptom you should discuss with your doctor as it could be a symptom of hepatic encephalopathy in a patient with cirrhosis

After some quick searching on reputable sites, Melatonin does not appear to interact negatively with the liver.
On Mayo, I found a paragraph that says: "Early research found that melatonin may improve liver function in people with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis"
They also indicate more research is needed to confirm this. Below is the page from which I quoted:

The recurring admonishment is always, when in doubt, ask your physician.
