A liver transplant is likely the only solution that may help your mother. It is caused when the liver of a person is quite ill, and that doesn't work properly. Symptoms that a liver is not working properly are the following: patients get worn out, have yellow skin or eyes, and also experience tummy pain. The treatment is costly and involves a lot of expenditures due to its magnitude. The doctor needs to see how much the liver is damaged and if the transplantation has become a necessity.

There are some clinical trials that show that stem cell therapy could effectively work on patients, but it is still under research and thus has not been granted approval by FDA yet.
You should either go with your doctor, or you can try consulting other doctors - hepatologists.
