Hi, I have gone through your query and understand your concern.
For hepatorenal syndrome and ascites, he must avoid salt intake to about 2-3g/day. Avoid red meat and take soft diet.
As he is diabetic too, so he must restrict carbohydrate intake like refined sugars and bakery items (burgers, pastries, fried junk foods). Keep a record of his blood sugar levels and follow up regularly if his blood glucose levels are not controlled.
Besides these, continue taking treatment as advised by his physician.
Hope my answer will help you.
Regards,
Dr. Maria Daud
