A member asked:
Can antibiotic be given to liver cirrohtic patients ' also there is an inguinal hernia, can this patient be operated. liver cirrhosis is due to alcoho?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Depends upon the antibiotic and the manner in which it is excreted by the body. If detoxified and excreted through the liver the dose may need adjusting. The decision for surgery must be made by the operating physician, and in many instances they will want the person off alcohol for some time before surgery.

Yes, and yes : Antibiotics can be given to, and inguinal hernias can be repaired in patients with hepatic cirrhosis. If there is accumulation of fluid in the abdomen known as aspires, this should be controlled with diuretics before surgical procedures.
