my brother was admitted to hospital aug 8 for severe liver damage. hes an alcoholic. hes still in the hospital. he was doing better and then came in contact with mrsa. his kidneys are now failing, he has staph pneumonia and all has gone down hill. the drs and nurses are not telling us anything and if they do they all tell us different things. they are also giving him blood transfusions. we dont know what to do.
Hello. Sorry about your brothers condition. He seems to be having systemic sepsis which means infection has spread to all organs. His primary disease is liver failure and because of that his immunity has reduced which has caused infection. Kidney failure is secondary to infection. He Needs intensive care management with probably dialysis if his kidneys have totally stopped forming urine. If his liver is completely failed only definitive treatment is liver transplant. Sit with your doctor and talk to him and ask him about your brothers condition. I wish him a speedy recovery
