What Is The Prognosis For The End Stage CHF Having Bloody Tarry Stool?
Hi. My Father in law is 87 and we were told he is in end stage CHF. Two days ago he went into rehab after a 2 week hospital stay. They called yesterday and sent him back to the hospital with a bloody tarry stool. He is weak, they gave him 2 blood transfusions, and he looked a bit yellow yesterday. What do you think the prognosis is at this point?
things look pretty grim as I feel the liver too has failed.. as jaundice has set in and clotting is not happening with blood loss continuing Prognosis is not good but the treatment must go on
hope all turns out well
