Liver cirrhosis and renal failure
Posted , 1 user is following.
please can someone talk to me
my husband has been ill since Jul 2021 . vomiting, weak, multiple times to a&e etc
He got a liver biopsy and was told he had fibrosis and to stop drinking but he couldnt just stop as he could go into a seizure or heart attack so to cut down until he gets a place in rehab!
God he suffered at home but 3 weeks ago I called an ambulance as he was going yellow.
fast forward he is still in hospital, told he has 20% chance of survival as his kidneys were failing from having cirrhosis! The consultants then gave him albumin and a cocktail of drugs, 8 days after treatment it worked, he got a place eventually in rehab BUT the day of going the kidneys were failing again, plus the liver declined further and the consultant said he hasnt got a good chance of survival but try the treatment again and see if he has some infection causing the liver to decline, the chest xray showed a haze so they treating as a chest infection.
tomorrow i speak to the consultant to see whats happened since last week, i am beside myself!
has anyone had this type of failure and come out the other end living?? I am so sad and just cant imagine what may happen as they talking about palliative care if this doesnt work but I have to work full time to place a roof over our heads etc, im so confused, heartbroken and worried!
thanks for reading
