Hi there,

I'm sorry but this is a very non-specific question. It certainly depends on what the liver disease is. If the liver disease is hepatitis A, this is self limiting and will resolve on their own. Antiviral medications can be used to treat hepatitis B and C, and newer agents for hepatitis C have proven to have great success. If the patient has cirrhosis or liver cancer and this is advanced, then the only cure is a liver transplant. In cases of liver cancer, sometimes the cancer can be removed safely, but this requires someone with expertise in the area.

I don't know of any experts in your area, but I'd recommend seeking care a university hospital or one of the affiliates associated with them, as they likely have specialists experienced in these sort of cases.

I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.
