If your father has been diagnosed with liver disease following gallbladder removal, and the doctors are recommending a liver transplant, it suggests that his liver function has significantly declined. A liver transplant is considered the definitive treatment for end stage liver disease when other options may not be sufficient.

Liver cirrhosis with malignant transformation, along with significant ascites and pleural effusion, indicates serious complications, even such as cancer. Splenomegaly due to portal hypertension adds to his discomfort. Please consult a hepatologist urgently; they can provide specialized care to manage his pain, reduce swelling, and address liver-related issues.

When you have liver cirrhosis does your belly get hard and tight and uncomfortable can't eat everything taste nasty got a bad knee that looks a bad infection like someone ate his knee off bad...

Male | 56

In advanced stages of liver cirrhosis, the abdomen can become distended and feel firm or tight due to fluid accumulation (ascites). This can cause discomfort and difficulty eating. Whereas changes in taste perception and a knee infection are not directly related to liver cirrhosis and would require separate evaluation

My mother is suffering from liver cirrhosis. Key symptoms are - drop in HB every 10 days, GI bleeding through varices, ammonia increase in body from time to time which has been treated with duphalac enema. APC has been done twice. But bleeding and HB drop has continued.

Female | 73

Managing the variceal bleeding and elevated ammonia levels may involve procedures like APC, band ligation, or TIPS, and medications like lactulose. Regular monitoring of liver cirrhosis function and supportive care, including nutrition, are also crucial. Consult your doctor or a hepatologist.

Healthy liver-friendly foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, should be included in your daughter's diet. Nothing oily or greasy should be on the menu. In addition, her water consumption should be high enough for her to resist dehydration. Treatment and monitoring by a hepatologist should be the first thing you do.

Common symptoms may include fatigue, jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes), dark urine, and abdominal discomfort, although some individuals do not show any signs. This virus is primarily spread through contact with infected bodily fluids. It’s essential to consult a hepatologist for a thorough evaluation and suitable management options.

Hepatitaise b reoprt postive or not I am sandeep saxena from Mathura

Female | 32

You must know what possible symptoms to look for ‘fatigue, jaundice, and abdominal discomfort’ in order not to be misled by wrong conclusions. This is a disease primarily caused by a virus that affects the liver which is usually through contact with bodily fluids that are infected. One of the ways to handle this includes frequently checking your body function along with well-balanced food and using the right medicines for a long time. It is my strong belief that you should start off discussing your case with a healthcare provider for a thorough examination as well as a personalized prescription.

Doctor I have jaundice sir I have a lot of urine sir is there more urine in jaundice or not

Male | 18

When a person has jaundice, the urine is usually darker in color, although not more than normal. Jaundice is a condition that occurs when there is too much bilirubin in the blood and this causes a change in the color of the skin and eyes. The direct cause of jaundice will determine the exact treatment prescribed for this condition, so it is essential to visit a hepatologist.

Elevated levels in your liver function tests can indicate several factors, including inflammation or liver-related issues, especially in the context of diabetes. Symptoms to watch for include fatigue, yellowing of the skin, or abdominal pain. Various causes, such as medications or dietary habits, can contribute. It's essential to monitor your diabetes closely and consider lifestyle adjustments, such as a balanced diet and regular exercise. However, I recommend scheduling an appointment with a hepatologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized guidance.
