Hi,
thanks for writing in.
The symptoms you have described are suggestive of deteriorating liver function. You need to get admitted to hospital under the care of agastroenterologist . You need to undergo aseries of blood investiagtions . This should be followed by correction of as much functions as possible. The kidney function also needs to be assessed and acontinuous monitoring is amust as there is chance of hepatorenal syndrome developing in patients suffering from a fall in liver function. If untreated there is a chance of developing coma. So I would advise you to seek advise at the earliest.
I hope this answers your querry regarding the severity of the problem
Regards
