Question : Hi there,

I have an uncle of mine who is currently hepatitis C,

his situation:
100% liver damage with tumor.
he's currently on oxygen.
his stomach kept bloating with fluid inside.
urine and fluid contains virus/bacteria in it.
blood is extremely watery.
Internal bleed while extracting the fluids from his stomach
Veins are just too small to do a blood transfusion.

Please advise the current conditions and what other alternative ways this can be save. In this scenarios are just crazy to save but im hoping for a alternative answer.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

I am really sorry about the health condition your uncle is in.

Unfortunately, he is at the end-stage cirrhosis, where nothing has left to be done. You can upload his tests reports, so I can analyze his case better. Once again, nothing has been left to be done and unfortunately, no improvement to expect unless a miracle.

Wish God to ease his sufferings!
