Hi dear thanks for asking question....

Here your father have cirrhosis.
In which portal hypertension can occur...
It can lead dilated vessel with increase pressure and bleed ....so nose bleeding there.....

Portal hypertension need to be treated with TIPSS like shunt placement or liver transplantation.......

Beta blocker can be useful...

Take rest and low salt diet....

Now let me know you dear your father mostly here having hepatorenal syndrome.
So function kidney blood flow is affected.
And in such case prognosis very poor.
Diuretic not used as it aggravate condition.

Give him spinach and carrot juice daily.

Take care.....
