Liver problem

For parents with liver problems, what usually leads to a cirrhosis diagnosis?

My husband had liver problems for about a decade, and over time the ongoing liver damage caused scarring, which eventually led to cirrhosis. His treatment focused on managing the underlying liver condition and regular monitoring. We consulted Dr Kieron Lim, a recommended liver specialist in Mount Elizabeth, Singapore, for his care.

My dad had fatty liver too, so I understand the concern. We brought him to see Dr Wong Jen San, a liver doctor in Singapore, and I learnt that cirrhosis is usually assessed through blood tests, scans and sometimes a liver biopsy to check for scarring. Fatty liver or liver problems doesn't automatically mean cirrhosis, but it can progress in some people. I'd suggest getting your parents checked by a liver specialist to understand their condition and discuss the next steps. It's better not to delay getting a proper assessment.
