This depends on the lifestyle you lead or have led. Are you a heavy drinker? This is the main cause of cirrhosis. Do you see your doctor frequently, for review? If your skin and especially whites of your eyes have become yellow in colour, this is a very bad sign. In addition, if you smoke or used to, and have a poor diet- this doesn't help.

Only a doctor will be able yo gage this. it depends on how much of your liver has been deteriorated you need to talk to your doctor they can give you a life expectancy
