Knowing a little bit about your history, of having cirrhosis, I'm adding a few questions for you. I'm sure the hepatologist you see will have many things to tell you.

I suggest you bring along a pen and paper to write things down so you don't have to try and remember everything later. If someone is going with you, perhaps they can help.

How advanced is my cirrhosis ?
Please check my ammonia levels and let me know if I have encephalopathy.
What labs do I need and how often should I have them  done ?
Do you suggest I take any supplements and if so what ?
Do you suggest any dietary restrictions ?

If I think of more, I'll send you a pm.

I sent you a list of questions that Orphaned Hawk has posted in her journal.  It also contains some questions that Hector SF recommended for the first appt with a hepatologist.  I sent them to you via private message because med help has a word count limit for posting here on the threads.
