To explain in simple terms, Liver cirrhosis is a serious condition in which the liver becomes scarred and starts shrinking. This damage builds up slowly over time, and the liver begins to lose its ability to function. Many believe it’s only caused by alcohol, but obesity, hepatitis B or C, and overuse of certain medicines can also be common reasons.

According to a 2024 interview with Dr Shiv Kumar Sarin on The Lallantop, the process begins when fat or alcohol harms the liver. The immune system tries to fix the damage, but ends up causing scarring. Over time, the liver becomes hard and small, which blocks blood flow. This can lead to major issues like high pressure in the liver and even vomiting blood.

Can Liver Cirrhosis Be Reversed?

Yes, liver cirrhosis can be reversed to a large extent. Dr Sarin explained in the same Lallantop interview that changes in lifestyle and diet can help the liver heal. One key step is building muscle. Muscles can support some of the liver’s work, especially when the liver is weak.

Many people with cirrhosis have poor muscle strength. Strength training and staying active can reduce the burden on the liver. Improving your diet and avoiding harmful substances can also slow down or even reverse some of the liver damage.
