Jaundice?: In the context you described, this could mean that his liver function has worsened and his bilirubin is now higher. He needs to see his doctor right away for blood testing and a liver ultrasound. Cirrhosis is something that can progress.

De-compensation: Continued use of alcohol has damaged the liver more and it is not able to carryout its functions. It is imperative that your husband seek care from a doctor and abstain from alcohol.
