How long can a person live with early to moderate stage liver cirrhosis?

Recently, my husband has been experiencing frequent stomach pain. After a medical examination, the doctor diagnosed him with cirrhosis at an early to middle stage. I would like to know how long a person can live with early- to mid-stage cirrhosis?

Dr. Wang Xuemei
The exact survival time for early to intermediate stage cirrhosis cannot be predicted. If early-stage cirrhosis is not treated promptly and effectively, it may progress to decompensated cirrhosis and further develop into primary liver cancer, significantly affecting the patient's survival duration. However, with early intervention and timely treatment—especially addressing the underlying cause—if the condition is effectively controlled and remains stable, the prognosis and survival time can be significantly improved.
