Cirrhosis prevention of symptoms
My question in general is that in early cirrhosis can any treatment/medicine be given to reduce scarring of liver or to prevent any complications from occurring before having any symptoms, i.e. when the patient feels healthy and has no symptoms (incidental diagnosis)?
Can complications, like esophageal varices, ascites, jaundice, liver cancer or hepatic encephalopathy, be prevented or delayed with meds when not yet happened?
