I have cirrosis of the liver with aceites, (fairly high volume acietes). I also have a genetic disease which leaves me with too much iron in my blood. I am considering a transplant. however is seems that it is basically a life sentence of handfuls of pills, weekly doctors visits, and basically NO LIFE! In addition I have thought of the TIPS procedure, which I am finding out in 20% of the procedures leaves me with Encephalopathy! I am at a loss as to how to procede!
Hello, You can probably have hemochromatosis induced liver cirrhosis.  It is an irreversible condition and cannot revert.  So liver transplantation or TIPS is the only option left.  Kindly attach your reports so that I can check it.  The side effects don't develop in every patient and some patients can cope well liver transplantation.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
