We are all informed about his disease and prepared for his death. but i wud like to know that if he will get a painless and noble death without blood coming out and intense pain NB
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Sorry to hear about your grandfather who is in end stage cirrhosis. We cannot predict the method of death in any person having chronic condition like cirrhosis. If he is unconscious most of the time then it might suggest hepatic encephalopathy. This is a condition when the toxic metabolites are not getting cleared by liver and are accumulating in the brain. This gives rise to occasions when he might have altered consciousness. It is difficult to know his pain and his doctor might put him in pain relief if required. Please do not worry.
