CIROHSSIS

What can happen if a person with cirohssis of liver is given TRACLEER?  WILL THE PATIENT GET WORSE? HAS PULMONARY HYPERTENSION ALSO.

I think that Tracleer could conceivably make one's liver disease decompensate.  this would typically not occur acutely but gradually over time. Pulmonary hypertension itself could also cause the liver disease to worsen if left uncontrolled or if it were to worsen.

         On my question about giving tracleer to a human being that has already severe cirohssis of liver, you did not really answer my question.Person was told her liver was fine and it was not,so was given tracleer, and she is at a point of dying.Tracleer was given for pulmonaty hypertension. I think they shouldn't have given her tracleer. You say tracleer can cause liver problems, when severe cirohssis was already present. PLEASE ANSWER WHAT I AM ASKING.

tracleer can cause liver problems.  someone taking it must be followed closely.  the pulmonary hypertension must be treated so it must be used.  there are multiple other medications though that are being used to treat portopulmonary hypertension, including viagra.
