Brief Answer:
HCC, Cirrhosis with kidney problems together is complicated.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and read the reports.
The reports are suggestive of HCC means hepatocellular cancer of liver along with cirrhosis both of which may be due to hepatitis C.
Also noted is raised Urea and creatinine indicative of renal disease.
Hence the outcome looks not so favorable as per the reports.
Please consult The Hepatologist, Nephrologist and Oncologist for a proper combined treatment possible.
Please give details about the present complaints and clinical presentation.

Hi Doctor

Ok, I will get this information and communicate the same to you at the earliest.

Meanwhile, may you please advise about what the CT scan tells you personally beside the reports, do you have any specific opinion about it, and what does it shows clearly.

Thank you very much for your patience and support

Brief Answer:
Awaited

Detailed Answer:
Will be awaiting for the information.
The two lesions in the liver may further be investigated by ultrasonography guided FNAC that is fine needle aspiration cytology to ascertain the cause.
Rest of the things have already been mentioned above - Liver cirrhosis along with the ill defined lesions.
