Hello, I hope you are well, it is important to mention that you have a family history of first line of liver cirrhosis, so it is important to rule out genetic / hereditary causes of liver cirrhosis. In spite of this, worldwide the first cause of liver pathology is the fatty liver, which in your case is the non-alcohol group. There are non-invasive methods of study to determine the degree of fibrosis of your liver. In this case, if it is a grade II, measures must be taken to correct the underlying cause; an adequate metabolic control that includes a control of weight, modification of the diet, physical activity.
