The length of time you can live with cirrhosis of the liver depends on how severe the cirrhosis of the liver is.

If the cirrhosis of the liver is not too far progressed then you might live 5 or 10 years after the diagnoses of the cirrhosis of the liver.

If the cirrhosis of the liver is too far progressed then you might only live 1 year to 4 years after the diagnoses.

Usually by the time a person is diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver the condition has progressed far enough to where it's inoperable and means that there's no way to cure it.

By that time the person usually has around 2 years at most to live.
