Mom with Stage 4 Cirrhosis, Hep C positive, and Diabetic

[yvette6303]

Hello everyone, my Mom found out 5 years ago that she has hep c, and cirrhosis. She has been diabetic foe over 15 years. She has not always been the healthiest person and I am concerned and kind of confused as to what her prognosis is. Her belly already swells up pretty bad and she goes to the hospital every 2-3 day to have 5-7 liters of fluid pulled out of her abdomen. Her ammonia levels go up and she gets confused. She does take numerous medications but don't know what specific ones. Can anyone help me to understand the potential outcomes, cures and treatments for my mom?
