Hello,
I would explain that his symptoms could be related to acute hepatic failure.
I would like to directly review his blood lab tests and abdominal ultrasound report in order to give a more professional opinion on his medical condition.
If the situation is treated properly and ammonium levels are reduced, he may gain conscience again.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
