Chronic liver disease
In July this year my uncle was hospitalised as he was suffering from ascites and jaundice. And after being hospitalised the doctors further told as that they are also suffering from chronic liver disease. 3 days later they were discharged from the hospital. Now again he is suffering from ascites, umbilical hernia and chronic liver disease. So I just wanna ask a simple question does they require a liver transplant or some other medical treatment is also available. Kindly help me out. I am also attaching the liver function test report and other test report done during the time he was hospitalised.Here meld score is around 10/ 12. There are no symptoms of chirosis (i guess) just some swelling around his feet, ankle and knees. And if does require a liver transplant how much will it cost.
