Hello, I have cirrhosis of the liver, all tests are normal except for a lack of platelets (65) and I have esophageal varices of 1.5 degrees. I stick to healthy food without salt, sugars and fats. My activity is good and I do not suffer from anything. My question is can I live at this level for a while? 20 years, for example, and I do not need a liver transplant, thank you.
In my case I was diagnosed with cirrhosis in January 2008. My cirrhosis was caused by having hepatitis c for probably about 30 years at that point. I was able to finally successfully treat and cure my hep c in 2015 but the damage was done at that point.
My platelets at that time were about 85, but since I was cured they are now mostly around 110 still a little low but improved.
So my best advice would be to work with your doctor preferable a hepatologist associated with a liver transplant center as they are best able to give you good advice and monitor your case. Follow your doctors recommendations. Don't take any new medications without your doctors approval, and if possible do what you can to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Best of luck to you :-)
