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
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
