What is prognosis of pt of liver cirrhosis with insomnia and asciteshaving sgot 68.5, total prstein 4.5, albumin 2.4 bld urea, creatinine normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: albumin is low. bilirubin, platelets, INR all a lot more helpful than the other tests that you listed. Ascites can be managed easily, are there other issues like varices, encephalopathy? what is the etiology of cirrhosis, can that be reversed (HCV, for example?)
