Hi There. My Bf Has Acute Alcoholic Hepatitis And Kidney

Hi there. My bf has acute alcoholic hepatitis and kidney damage.

We are currently at the hospital and they are giving him 7200 ml (300 per hr) of sodium chloride.

His leg is now swollen and he is retaining fluids. I took him off and he started getting better. They put him back on and now he's sleeping constantly. This can't be good right?

What can I tell them !? I am afraid for his life and don't believe he should have so much salt with his liver condition please please help !!!
