      Dear Child,

      Good Question.

      Yes liver disease can be cured if it is diagnosed in EARLY stages. But, once it is diagnosed after reaching a stage called “CIRRHOSIS” (which also called as END STAGE LIVER DISEASE), it can not be cured.
      So, EARLY DIAGNOSIS of the Liver disease is very important to save life.

      But, you know, liver has a wonderful capacity to “regenerate” the damage to a greater extent, and is the only organ with this unique feature.

      Regards,

      Dr. Mohan
