Guest guest Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 Some of the changes in the liver tissue caused by steatohepatitis can, in rare cases, lead to eventual cirrhosis after many years >>>>> True......Mikes cousin is now on the liver transplant list for this very condition. If she had weight loss surgery 10 yrs ago she wouldnt be in such poor health right now. She is very obese too. (150 lbs overweight) Sadly, the liver transplant will not save her life but it will give her extra time.....a few yrs if shes lucky. We dont expect she will even get close to getting the transplant becuz there is a shortage of livers..... Judie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
