Hi,
Once USG, bilirubin, hepatitis B, C, A, etc., should be ruled out. Biopsy will give a diagnosis as the liver can regenerate also. Keep a check on LFT along with medicine from a gastroenterologist. Do breathing exercises as it will prolong the liver's life.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
