I have a cirrhotic liver. I have never been a drinker. I have lupus and have been on lots of medications for 30 years. I had 17 varicies burst in my esophagus ... and an enlarged spleen. When I got to the hospital, they immediately said I was a long time alcoholic, but my son corrected them immediately, Can you tell me what medications would cause a cirrhotic liver? Trish
Hello, Cirrhosis of the liver can be caused due to many reasons. The most common is heavy alcohol consumption over a long period of time.  Other causes are viruses like hepatitis, prolonged use of some Chat Doctor.  There are some pain medicines which can lead to liver damage if consumed over a long period of time.  You said you have been diagnosed with lupus 30 years back and taking medicines for it.  Usually the medicines that are used for treatment of lupus are less likely to cause extreme damage to liver that leads to cirrhosis.  I suggest you have a conversation with your doctor regarding this and clear your doubts. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
