Hi,
Thanks for writing in to hcm.
I understand your problem and will try my best to help you out.

In a patient with liver cirrhosis, with liver spots mean that there are either:
1. Regenerative nodules : regeneration of liver cells taking place
2. Dysplastic nodules in the liver showing abnormal cells.

Please dont be worried. Let the doctors carry out an MRI and correlate with the clinical findings. You need to start taking medications as prescribed by the hepatologist and also need to follow a liver healthy diet.

Bleeding varices is not a good sign of liver condition hence kindly take medications regularly to prevent further complications.

Completely cut down on alcohol and smoking.

Hope this answered your query.
Get well soon.
