Hi welcome to Chat Doctor .... Yes hepatitis B and cirrhosis connected to each other... Chronic hepatitis b can lead cirrhosis on its long course.... After few years. .... So if cirrhosis is present than final treatment can be liver transplantation... Stem cells therapy also available at few higher center, but effectiveness must be evaluated according to case.... For cirrhosis first do USG for confirmation and then if needed for portal hypertension beta blocker can be given... Daily take grinned spinach and carrot juice.... Regular follow up needed in your case... Advise
