cirhossis

hi my friend is suffering from liver cirhossis. she is already in the last stage. she has bloated stomach, cannot pass out urince. what to do

[pugdaddy]

I will assume that you are already praying for her.  Otherwise as long as your friend is hospitalized and is under the care of a hepatologist, then she is in the best environment possible.  And unfortunately there is very little more that you can do.  I am so sorry, as you are very obviously concerned - and justifiably so.  Hopefully she can stablize.  Has liver transplantation been discussed?  It sounds as though a new liver may be her only hope for cure, but do please keep us advised..

I am very sorry to hear about your friend. This is a terrible situation.

First - Not passing urine is very dangerous. Your friend needs to go to a doctor or hospital today for help!!!

Hi doctor ever said that liver tranplantation cannot be done as her age is too old for her. And with this condition right now, is it still possible?

[pugdaddy]

how old is she?

[sadss]

She's 69 years

The different transplant centers have varying requirements and contraindications for transplant.  Some 'cap' at age 65, others 'cap' at age 70....it all depends on the center's policy.  And of course (especially in older patients) the potential recipient's general overall health is taken into consideration.  It is a major surgery - and the person needs to be healthy enough to survive it!
