Figure out what? You have liver disease which has multiorgan impact. What is it that you don't understand or want us to tell you? Bottom line, liver disease is a complex disease, so just work with you doctors on this. Except for entertainment it's not a discussion appropriate to YA. Hopefully you have a liver specialist on your team and not just a primary care MD. Good luck.
