Liver Disease Diagnosis

I need help with the outcome of a diagnosis done on my brother today at a clinic. He was told that he has a liver sickness has been referred to a hospital which he will go tomorrow. According to my sister who is with him (and my parents) his eyes has turned yellow and he has lost a lot of weight. According to some info I found on this website, the yellow eyes appear under "cirrhosis of the liver". If he were to go to a doctor (other that a public hospital) what type of a doctor should he go to, a doctor who will do a comprehensive diagnosis than just a general check?

Yellowing of the eyes or jaundice can appear with gallbladder issues as well.  As for the type of doc you want, you need a hepatologist (liver specialist) or a gastroenterologist experienced with liver disorders.

Take care!
