A member asked:

What do you suggest if my father died from liver cirrosis after heart surgery but never knew he had problems with his liver?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Condolences: I'm sorry for your loss. You're right, the mortality during heart bypass is much higher in those with cirrhosis. There's nothing I can suggest that will be of benefit to him, however.

Dr Altman and another doctor agreed
