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.
