is liver parenchymal disease curable - #14536
I am trying to understand this whole situation with my dad’s health. He was recently diagnosed with liver issues, specifically something the doctors called liver parenchymal disease. Honestly, we were just totally blindsided. One day he's feeling fine, and then suddenly he’s got this diagnosis. He hasn't been drinking much, maybe a couple of beers now and then, but the doctors keep talking about his liver. They’ve done all sorts of tests, blood work, everything, and now they’re saying things like we need to manage his condition. I keep wondering, is liver parenchymal disease curable? Like, can they actually fix it? I read conflicting stuff online, some say it can be treated if caught early enough, and others say it's chronic or progressive, which freaks me out. I'm scared of what this means for his future. Is this something that we have to live with forever? He’s not showing serious symptoms, but the doctors keep saying we need to keep a close eye on it. It feels overwhelming—what can we realistically expect in terms of management or treatment options? Is liver parenchymal disease curable, or should we be preparing for something more serious down the line? I just feel really lost right now.
