<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Good day to you doctorMy father aged 76 yrs is a cirrhotic diagnosed 7 years ago. He was doing fine so far. However, for the last 3 months or so, he has started feeling weak, and decreased appetite which could be due to moderate ascites. His lab values are as follows:Bilirubin :1.0SGOT :65SGPT: 43.Albumin : 3.0.Globulin : 3.3.Alk.Phosphatase : 120.GGTP : 63.Creatinine : 1.2BUN: 10.Sodium: 128.Potassium : 4.8.He is generally mobile and normal otherwise. Just that he feels weaker than what he used to feel around a year ago. We had got the ascitic fluid tapped some time ago..but the fluid seems to have recollected. He is taking just one tablet of lasilactone since his sodium values are bit lowIs his liver badly damaged ? Do you think we are nearing the end stages sir? What is the time frame usually taken to reach the end stage from point? What would be the best line of action to be taken.Looking forward to your reply.  <response>: Hi, From the lab reports liver seems not to be in bad condition except for low albumin level. Matter of concern is sodium level, as it is low, and it can cause severe damage. It cannot be said that he is nearing his end period. And time also cannot be calculated. External sodium and albumin is required as tapping of peritoneal fluid may be needed. Give liver supportive with antioxidants and multivitamins too. Regards
