Specializes in Gastroenterology

Cirrhosis: depending on her medical state and cause of her cirrhosis, drugs can affect her differently. She should be best managed with all her care primarily by a Hepatologist, but if not possible, at least a Gastroenterologist for all of her care, including which medications she would be safe to take.
