Liver Cirrhosis Treatment in South Delhi
Cirrhosis is permanent scarring of the liver, but 'permanent' is not the same as 'hopeless'. With the cause treated and complications prevented, many patients with compensated cirrhosis live well for years. Dr Paliwal has managed cirrhosis — including patients needing transplant — throughout his career at Medanta, Artemis and PSRI.

Questions patients ask about liver cirrhosis
Is liver cirrhosis curable?
The scar tissue does not disappear, but treating the cause halts progression and complications are preventable. Transplant is the cure for advanced disease.
How long can one live with cirrhosis?
Compensated cirrhosis under specialist care can carry a near-normal life expectancy for many years. Decompensation changes this — which is why regular follow-up matters.
Does cirrhosis need a transplant?
Only when the liver fails despite treatment. Dr Paliwal identifies the right time and coordinates evaluation.
