Liver cirrhosis represents a late stage of liver disease, where long-term inflammation of the liver causes very advanced permanent scarring. Once cirrhosis develops, the liver can no longer fully repair itself, but early diagnosis and treatment can slow progression, prevent complications, and improve quality of life.
At Leaders in Liver Health, our consultants provide expert diagnosis, monitoring, and personalised treatment for all causes of cirrhosis, including alcohol-related liver disease, steatotic (fatty) liver disease/ Metabolic-dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), viral hepatitis, autoimmune liver disease, and genetic conditions.
At Leaders in Liver Health we offer FibroScan® assessment, blood testing, imaging, and advanced care and treatment pathways.
Cirrhosis develops when liver cells are repeatedly damaged over many years, leading to permanent scarring (fibrosis).
As scar tissue replaces healthy tissue, the liver becomes harder, less flexible, and in some patients unable to carry out essential functions such as:
Cirrhosis is often silent in early stages, which is why many people are diagnosed only after abnormal test results or complications.
Early specialist care can slow or stop further damage and prevent the need for liver transplant.
Symptoms vary and often do not appear until the liver is significantly scarred.
If you have risk factors or abnormal liver tests, book an assessment before symptoms develop.
Our clinic provides full diagnostic testing to confirm cirrhosis, determine severity, and detect complications early.
Once cirrhosis is confirmed, patients enter regular monitoring to prevent bleeding, cancer, and liver failure.
Your journey to better health starts here — simple, guided, and stress-free.

Our consultants body includes:
Our goal is long-term liver stability, early complication detection, and improved quality of life.
The scarring cannot be reversed, but progression can be stopped with the right treatment and lifestyle changes.
No. Fatty liver, viral hepatitis, autoimmune disease, and genetic conditions are also common causes.
No. Many patients live well for years with medical care, monitoring, and lifestyle change.
Using FibroScan, blood tests, and imaging from F1 (early) to F4 (severe).
Yes. Cirrhosis increases the risk of liver cancer, so ultrasound and blood tests every 6 months are standard.
No. Even small amounts accelerate liver damage once cirrhosis is present.
If you’ve been diagnosed with cirrhosis or are at risk, early specialist care is essential.
