<bot>: Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor. What you need to know is that Cirrhosis is most commonly caused by alcoholism, hepatitis B and C, and fatty liver disease, but theses are not the only causes, there is a multitude of causes. Some cases are idiopathic, i.e., of unknown cause. You can look into these other causes, if he fits in any : *Fat that accumulates in the liver (nonalcoholic fatty liver disease)- in fat people* Iron buildup in the body (hemochromatosis)*Too much copper accumulated in the liver (Wilson's disease)*Liver disease caused by his bodies immune system (autoimmune hepatitis)*Heart problems-Repeated episodes of heart failure with liver congestion can lead to cirrhosis.*Parasite [in developing countries (schistosomiasis)] Now the treatment will depend on the cause for the cirrhosis, also the complications of cirrhosis must be treated.
