He's my dad, becoming weak day by day. We consulted doctor who told the urine is containing blood also although its not visible looking at urine. His leg was also swelling, on medication it became fine. He also added, it may be liver failure but he didn't confirm. How he's becoming weak?Age :73Weight :70 Height :5'2I would be thankful if I get a prompt reply.
Hello. I welcome you to icliniq. I can understand you must be very upset about your father. The history you provided provides a little clue to what excatly he is sufferring with. Non visible blood in urine is called microscopic hematuria. Some liver condition can cause this problem such as Hepatitis C viral infection , hepatitis B viral infection, recent drug use, or advanced liver disease secondary to any cause. with advanced liver disease platelets (white cells in blood which control bleeding) are decreased that why patient is prone to develop bleeding from any site- may be in urine, skin or sometime internally within abdomen. The swelling you mentioned possibly be secondary to fluid collection over legs and which resolves with medications called diuretics which increase urine formation. If these all findings combined It is possible that your father is suffereing from liver cirrhosis also called scarring of liver. Dear, the liver cirrhosis requires a long term management with initially medical and supportive treatment followed by liver transplant which is the definite therapy. If you want to discuss with me in more detail plus want to show up his previous investigations I strongly urge you to use icliniq forum.
