My uncle is suffering from alcoholic liver cirrhosis with ascites caused by prolonged alcohol use. His abdomen is swollen due to fluid accumulation, and he has a poor appetite. The doctor has advised a liver transplant. Could you please suggest the best allopathic treatment available for this condition?
For alcoholic liver cirrhosis with ascites, the most effective allopathic treatment is a liver transplant. Before the transplant, supportive treatment includes using diuretics (such as spironolactone and furosemide) to reduce fluid buildup, following a low-sodium diet, treating complications (such as infections or hepatic encephalopathy), and maintaining complete alcohol abstinence for at least six months to qualify for the transplant list. Regular monitoring and early evaluation at a liver transplant centre are strongly recommended.
