Hi doctor, my friend has cirrhosis by drinking. She were admitted three time in hospital since found out cirrhosis, The late one was 10 days ago. She was bleeding from top and bottom, almost had coma. Her husband brought her back. She was in hospital for two and half days and doctor gave her eight pints of blood and didn t find out where was bleeding. Release her w/o meds and told her he can t do anything about her liver. What is going on? What does it mean can t do anything to help?
Hi, Due to cirrhosis the clotting factors, which is synthesized in the liver, is deficient. Besides that cirrhotic patients also develop esophageal varices bleeding and hemorrhoids due to opening of portosystemic shunt. She needs a liver transplant for treatment, otherwise there is no other way out. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
