Suggest Treatment Options For Late Stage Cirrhosis Of Liver

What is the wait on obtaining a liver for transplant purposes? My husband may have Late-Stage cirrhosis of the liver. What are some of the treatment options will he have? Currently, Kurt is living on Zofran and Promothazine. Are there other options (maybe a little stronger) that will help with my husband's nausea?

Hi I can understand your concern....
Noted he is having late stage cirrhosis.
So ultimate treatment is liver transplantation ....
Other new option with less documentation is stem cell therapy.....Stem cell can regenerate liver tissue as having pluripotency ....

Meanwhile for ascites prevention take low salt diet....
Diuretic if needed can given....
If you have splenomegaly and features suggestive portal hypertension beta blocker can be given.....
Take spinach and carrot juice...
Fruits more....

Less invasive procedure like TIPSS like shut placement can done to reduce pressure...

Take care.....
