HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, you have not mentioned the type cirrhosis your father have, but in case of cirrhosis no specific treatment are available and if it is to be given then you have to see the gastroenterologist, because complete investigation may needed for this, etiology is the matter of concern, (You have not mentioned ager of your father else something else would have been suggested ) Hope this information helps, take care.
