there is a long list of risks in cirrhosis. Osteoporosis, varices in esophagus(bleeding), Jaundice and Liver failure are just some of them. How it’s treated- first of all if they found out what is the cause- they stop it (like drinking alcohol). Then what happen depends on how young and strong is the patient, in what stage the cirrhosis is. And the treatment is mostly for the symptoms in hope that the liver will hill itself. In really bad cases- transplant.

The risks? Death. I was diagnosed with end-stage liver disease October 2007, I'm getting on the transplant list. If I have "one" more alcoholic drink, I will die. Now, that's a risk!
