My mother is suffering from liver cirrhosis. Key symptoms are - drop in HB every 10 days, GI bleeding through varices, ammonia increase in body from time to time which has been treated with duphalac enema. APC has been done twice. But bleeding and HB drop has continued.
Managing the variceal bleeding and elevated ammonia levels may involve procedures like APC, band ligation, or TIPS, and medications like lactulose. Regular monitoring of liver cirrhosis function and supportive care, including nutrition, are also crucial. Consult your doctor or a hepatologist.

My father got liver disease from last 6 months after we removed galbladder 8 month before due to stone. That time doctor told having liver disease ,now they are asking to do liver transplant can you suggest is it necessary to do or any other option with medication can cure.
If your father has been diagnosed with liver disease following gallbladder removal, and the doctors are recommending a liver transplant, it suggests that his liver function has significantly declined. A liver transplant is considered the definitive treatment for end stage liver disease when other options may not be sufficient.

Ultrasound Findings: Potential Liver Problems and other Concerns
Based on the ultrasound findings, the report mentions some observations, but it also notes limitations due to bowel gas obscuring the pancreas and proximal aorta. No focal abnormalities or gallbladder issues are identified, although a small amount of dependent sludge cannot be completely ruled out. The kidneys and spleen appear normal.Further evaluation and correlation are recommended, such as a CT scan with IV contrast, if needed. No acute cholecystitis or obvious free fluid is noted. Also make sure to consult your doctor for a comprehensive assessment and interpretation of the results.

My brother has liver cirrhosis. Can ge be cured if he undergo stem cell therapy?
There's no definitive cure for liver cirrhosis. It is a condition where healthy liver tissue is replaced by scar tissue, and this damage is irreversible. Stem cell therapy is still under research and clinical trials, but it is not yet considered a standard treatment for liver cirrhosis.
