Hi,

You are having HCV infection and let me know you most of cases of HCV infected individual develop cirrhosis as you have developed also. For reducing portal hypertension beta blocker can be prescribed If liver transplantation not possible than minimal Invasive procedure like TIPSS can be done to reduce portal hypertension.

For ascites diuretic prescribed and take care to take low salt diet. Daily take grined carrot and spinach juice Serum albumin, total protein estimation, liver enzymes estimation, PT should be done. Regular follow up done to correlate case clinically. Strictly avoid alcohol if habit If blood mixed vomiting occur immediately refer to ER. Consult gastroenterologist for examination with keeping my answer in mind.

Hope your concern is solved. Let me know if I can assist you further.
