Dear Doctor, my mothers age is 74 yrs. She is suffering from cerrossis of liver since last year. Recently a good quantity of bleeding came out from her mouth. Doctor diagonosed as Esophaygal varices. She also suffering by constipation of about 10 days or more. but after that she usually suffering by diarrhea and become very weak and get admitted into hospital repeatedly. Immediate after applying saline she probably become quiet fit. Now, my question is  whether the deases is curable or not. I want to make an appointment with early.                                                                                               Thanking you,                                                                                                 Sajal Halder
His have gone through your mothers complaints. You are saying cirrhosis of liver with esophageal varices.it means portal hypertension developed.in cirrhosis, liver cell death & fibrosis will be occurring .its irreversible. But its imp to investigate completely like what is the cause of cirrhosis. What is the present state and to predict what complications will occur. Blood tests like He, Tc&Dc, bleeding & clotting time, Bag & hepatitis c viral test, liver function tests, serum creatinine, ultrasonogram.based on the reports we can assess her status. As you are saying she is getting constipation, more chance of development of altered consciousness called hepatic encephalopathy. We need to know any fluid in abdomen. If liver is still good we can follow her. If it is severely compromised It's important to plan liver transplant. If any queries feel free to write. Thank youRegardsVasundhara
