Hi thanks for contacting us dear... Here you have chronic liver disease with ascites ...and portal hypertension... So lifestyle changes must be needed with regular follow up ..... Here in hepatitis c there are also chance of malignancy of liver....your gland also swollen. So take biopsy from it to detect malignancy...AFP estimation also done.... Cutt off oil in diet.... Fruits more. Green leafy salad taken.... In morning take grinned carrot and spinach juice daily.... Take tsp cumin seed with milk... Here for portal hypertension beta blocker can betake.... For ascites diuretic useful.... With keeping these in mind you can consult gastroenterologist..... Happy to help you further. Hope your query solved.... Take care...... Chat Doctor.
