How Long Can A Person Live With End Stage Cirrhosis Of Liver?
Hi my brother has end stage cirosses of the liver, he is to sick for a transplant. With just that diagnosis the doctors just told him to enjoy what life he has left. Now he is diagnosed with Esophageal varices. He is not bleeding or throwing up blood yet, however, he has a very bad infection in his stomach the doctors can not resolve. My question is how long can a person live with these illnesses combined?
Take low salt diet for avoiding edema. For portal hypertension if needed beta blocker can be taken. Take low fat diet. Give him more fruits. Avoid alcohol. One tsp cumin seed with milk can be taken.
If tremor , slurred speech or bleeding occur immediately consult doctor. Five year survival rate poor for cirrhosis patient...
Take care.
