Hi, my mother is in the final stages of cirrhosis caused by hep c. she was diagnosed 4 years ago with the beginning of cirrhosis. the final stages of hepc include cirrhosis of the liver (fluid buildup in abdomen, water on the brain which leads to confusion, bleeding from mouth, sleep alot, flip flop of days and nights, etc) and flare ups of hep c which include temp, open sores, flu like symptoms, itchy skin.Eventually they will fall into a coma. hope this helps. have him evaluated. they can do a liver biospy to determine whether or not his liver is effected.

The sympyoms you mention do not tell us very much.
Need to know your husbands liver function tests results particlarly albumin,bilirubin and INR.
Does he have cirrhosis? If so how was it diagnosed?
Hep C itself does not have a final stage.The main types of Hep C mortality are liver failure and HCC (liver cancer).
The more hard statistics you give the more the people here can help.
Ask your doctor for a copy of LFT FBC (he will know what they are) also ultrasound,biopsy/fibroscan.
