And how long can a person live when their own liver is damaged from cirrhosis


Answers:

The waiting time for a liver transplant depends on the area where you live and the severity of the cirrhosis. The UNOS uses a MELD score that determines how elligible you are for a transplant.

It is impossible to say how long someone can live with cirrhossis. It depends on the level of cirrhosis and the progressiveness of the disease or condition.
