Based on the ultrasound your father has Cirrhosis, along with it’s complications like ascites ( accumulation of fluid in abdomen). Since there is no history of drinking, we need to evaluate, to rule out other causes like Hep B or Hep C and MASLD related liver disease. We can manage this condition with medications and some lifestyle modifications.
Next Steps
Consult Gastroenterologist for further evaluation.
