Not currently. Cirrhosis is caused by the liver turning into scar tissue, and once the scar tissue is there it won't grow back into liver tissue. I did just read about some Russian scientists who claim to be researching a drug that can turn the scar into stem cells which then grow back into liver cells, but assuming that this works it won't be available for many years unfortunately.
