Suggest Treatment For Cirrhosis Of The Liver
My brother in law is from Mexico and has cirrhosis, I am living in Canada and he asked me if in Canada alcoholic people have to go to the clinic or they buy the machine (I don t know the name) to extract some liquids from his stomach. My question here is: Can I buy that machine for him to extract the liquid at home? or better he continue visiting the clinic

Cirrhosis of liver occurs due to increased alcohol consumption, chronic infections of viral hepatitis of B and C , fatty liver caused by obesity, diabetes. I suggest you to get the fluid removed under the guidance of a gastroenterologist. I advise you not to buy the machines for fluid removal. Hope i have answered your question. If you have any other questions i will be happy to help.
