Severe Cirrhosis, any hope?

[Trembles1]

Hi,

My DF is in hospital with severe cirrhosis. He has been drinking a litre of vodka a day for 2 years. It sounds silly but none of us knew about it. He never seemed drunk. We are beating ourselves up wishing we could have intervened sooner. We phoned his DR after finding the empty bottles and he was admitted to hospital.

We've been told the liver damage is severe, with severe decompensated cirrhosis and his kidneys are struggling. I am wondering if anyone knows if its reversible at this stage? He is incredibly yellow and his bloods are unchanged despite treatment.

However, today he ate breakfast and showered with help. I'm not sure if this is him appearing better because the initial withdrawal is over, or if its a sign he might somehow survive this. We are waiting to hear about today's blood results.

The DRs told us we could be waiting on a phone call :( but after seeing him today, the optimist in me thinks there's still a chance.

My brother has not long been diagnosed with cirrhosis.

I am interested to hear how things are going for you, your Df and your family?

Really insensitive to raise this thread months later knowing the outcome was not looking positive. I wonder why you thought that appropriate

Because my brother has a similar story.

How is it insensitive by asking how things are going? Maybe it's insensitive of you to assume the worst
