What Is Cirrhosis?

Cirrhosis Is Not
the End of the Road

Liver cirrhosis is progressive scarring of the liver caused by long-term liver damage — from alcohol, hepatitis B or C, fatty liver disease (NASH), or other causes. At SALi, we combine world-class hepatology with specialist surgical expertise to manage cirrhosis at every stage — from early fibrosis to decompensated end-stage disease.

Comprehensive staging with FibroScan, liver biopsy and MELD score assessment
Targeted treatment of underlying cause — alcohol, viral hepatitis, NASH, autoimmune
Complication management: ascites, variceal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy
Early transplant listing for eligible patients to avoid end-stage deterioration
Regular surveillance for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with 6-monthly ultrasound

What We Offer

Our Approach to Liver Cirrhosis Treatment

Cause-Specific Treatment
We identify and treat the root cause — viral, alcoholic, metabolic or autoimmune — to halt or reverse ongoing damage.
Complication Management
Expert management of ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, and variceal bleeding using evidence-based protocols.
HCC Surveillance
All cirrhotic patients are enrolled in a 6-monthly surveillance programme to detect liver cancer at its earliest and most treatable stage.
Transplant Planning
When medical management reaches its limits, we transition seamlessly to transplant evaluation — with our in-house transplant team leading the process.
Nutrition & Lifestyle
Liver-specialist dietitians create personalised nutrition plans for each stage of cirrhosis — managing protein intake, sodium restriction, and supplement needs.
Continuous Monitoring
Full record review at every visit — trend analysis of LFTs, INR, bilirubin and albumin so deterioration is caught and corrected early.
