Can you please let me know, this can be cause of loss of life also, means how one can lead a normal life...
Brief Answer:
Difficult to foresee the responses
Detailed Answer:
Actually, these are the cases in which it is practically impossible to foresee, how they are going to respond to every single stimulus, either positive (like treatment) or negative (like infections and so).
If the disease progresses to further complications like cirrhosis or cancer, the treatment can be liver transplant alone.
Normal life all depends upon the time-to-time clinical evaluation, investigations and treatment.
