Should A Liver Transplantation Be Done While Suffering From Liver Cirrhosis?

Hi This question is for my mother. She is traced with liver cirrosis since 26th October, 2016. Day by day her condition is detroiting. Some of the criticalities are very sensitive digestive system with loose motions and vomit, weakness, massive swelling near stomach, thighs and legs, water retention in these areas, and bleeding from nose and mouth sometimes. She is advised for albumins and andoscopy where already 3 bends have been done. She has been now advised for Liver transplantation. Want an opinion on whether Liver transplantation is suggested in her case or can be cured by some medicines.

Hello,

You have developed splenomegaly, ascites and might be thrombocytopenia that can cause bleeding as well.

For edema, you can be prescribed diuretic medication.

You have developed all these due to Porta hypertension for which beta-blocker can be prescribed.

But all these medications are not a permenant solution.
So if your mother fit for transplantation than liver transplantation will be the best treatment option but it is costly one also.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami, General & Family Physician
