I need 2 know about hep c&b with liver cirrhosis?


my husband has the above he also has fluid in his abdominal now he sleeps alote should i be concerned?

Yes. I sincerely hope your husband is under the care of a good specialist, like a gastroenterologist or hepatologist. Fluid accumulation in the abdomen is a sign that the liver is failing; it is functioning at less than 10% of what is should be doing. That's why the fluid is building up; the liver can't filter out all the toxins (this is a very simplistic explanation).
The short answer is your husband needs to see a doctor and discuss his options. If he is in liver decompensation, as I suspect from your limited information, then he will need to be evaluated for a liver transplant. I'm sorry if I sound abrupt, but I want you to know the truth without candy coating it. Once the liver becomes severely damaged, it cannot regenerate or improve on it's own. Time is of the essence, as it is quite a lengthy process to go through an evaluation. Best wishes to you.

hep c dose make you tired. you should contact the dr if you are concerned
