Please pray for my husband who Decompensated cirrhosis is a severe stage of liver scarring (cirrhosis) where the liver can no longer compensate for the damage and begins to fail, leading to serious complications. This contrasts with compensated cirrhosis, where the liver still functions adequately despite the scarring. Decompensation is marked by the appearance of overt symptoms and complications, such as ascites, variceal bleeding, and hepatic enchephalopathy!
