Is It Possible For Liver Replacement?
Hi thanks for asking question. Noted you have kidney function less with liver problems also. You probably might have portal hypertension secondary to cirrhosis. In such high risk condition surgery is not advisable. First try to correct these conditions. Consult doctor for treating portal hypertension by beta blocker.If ascites present diuretic given. If variceal bleeding occurs from esophagus then endoscopic management done. Meanwhile -take low salt diet -Green leafy veg useful -Avoid smoking -Maintain hydration -Avoid alcohol -Rest -Avoid high fatty and fried food With above measures first try to prevent cirrhosis further complication, treat portal hypertension and then after consulting doctor if condition seems ok then liver transplantation can be done. Wish you good health
