You do not die from cirrhosis of the liver. However, cirrhosis of the liver makes the liver susceptible to cancer. You die from cancer. The worse the cirrhosis, the greater the chance of cancer. If the cirrhosis is alcohol related, if you stop drinking immediately, it is possible to reverse it. Your liver can produce chemicals that dissolve the cirrhosis. Alcohol destroys those chemicals. Your liver constantly produces chemicals that make it heal itself. Alcohol destroys those chemicals.

Serrapeptase dissolves scar tissue - thus partially reversing Cirrhosis.

The "treatment" for cirrhosis is a liver transplant. Drug treatment may provide symptomatic relief, and potentially slow the progression of cirrhosis. Cirrhosis is the final stage of liver failure, in which your liver is no longer able to regenerate itself or function normally - it is not something which "goes away". Hence why the cure is considered to be a transplant. Hence yes, you can recover from it, but your original liver will not.

Liver cirrhosis is "treatable", with a liver transplant. Cirrhosis is the last stage of liver failure, whereby the liver is not able to regerate itself. Hence a transplant is the only "cure". There may be drug treatment to slow the progression of cirrhosis / negate some of the symptoms, but it's not considered a "cure".

Bilirubin is not an ailment or illness, so it is not something to be cured. It is a normal part of the bile. http://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/bilirubin-15434

It is considered "curable" with a liver transplant. Drugs are used to relieve symptoms and may slow the progression of cirrhosis, but are not considered a cure.

Cirrhosis cannot be reversed - it is the final stage of liver failure in which the liver is irreversibly scarred (beyond it's regenerating capacity). The "cure" is a liver transplant.

Can it ever be so bad that you can't cure cirrhosis?

Cirrhosis is the last stage of liver failure; the liver is primarily scar tissue by the cirrhotic stage. This is not curable, as once the liver is scar tissue, it stays scar tissue.It is true that the liver "regenerates itself", but only to a certain extent. If there are not enough healthy cells to regenerate (which there aren't by the cirrhotic stage), or the speed of regeneration does not exceed the speed of degeneration, then liver function will become worse and worse. This is why cirrhosis is not curable/reversible. (The treatment "cure" is a liver transplant, which is essentially the same as saying that "the cure for baldness is hair" - it doesn't really fix the underlying problem, but it does provide a solution).
