Dear Doctor, My Father is aged 74, he had lower abdomen pain and immediate motion after having food. We did the CT scan, LFT. My Gastro told that to take fibroscan for liver thickness which showed 75kpa. The doctor said it is a severe level of liver damage and since my father is 74 years old, liver transplant cannot be done. The Hepatitis ABC tests are negative, he is non-alcoholic and non-smoker. The reason for the liver damage is unknown. Doctor suggested to take Heptral 400 mg 1 per day and Udiliv 2 per day. My question is, what is the next level of treatment to be done and any other medication is required. whom to contact is case of second opinion What are the other precautions to be taken for preventing further damages. Kindly send in your reply / answer to my mail id YYYY@YYYY Thanks V Lakshmi Narayanan

Hi,

Liver transplant is only remedy but at his age it is not advisable. Make dietary modifications, give sugary carbs and bland diet. Fatty, junk, and spicy food should be strictly avoided. Take sp lactulose 2 tsf BD. K dietary proteins low (pulses, soya, etc.) as hard to digest. Contact gastroenterologist and hepatologist SOS.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
