Hi
I have gone through your mothers complaints.you are saying cirrosis of liver with oesophageal varices.it means portal hypertension developed.in cirrhosis , liver cell death & fibrosis wil be occuring .its irreversible.but its imp to investigate completely like what is the cause of cirrosis.what is the present state and to predict what complications wil occur.blood tests like Hb,Tc&Dc , bleeding & clotting time ,Hbsag & hepatitis c viral test , liver function tests , serum creatinine ,ultrasonogram.based on the reports we can assess her status.as you are saying she is getting constipation ,more chance of devopment of altered conciousness called hepatic encephalopathy. We need to know any fluid in abdomen.if liver is stil good we can follow her.if it is severely compromised its important to plan liver transplant.if any queries feel free to write.
