| Re: Possible End Stage Liver Disease?
If he is being treated by liver specialist you should know his MELD score. That will tell you what level he is at. I had all of those symptoms for nearly two years before I was considered end stage and got my liver transplant.
I feel for you and your husband. I was rushed to the emergency room multiple times near death from internal bleeding or my lungs filling up with fluid. I got my transplant April 18, 2011. My kidneys were damaged and I almost lost them. I was in the hospital for over a month.
My liver disease, NASH, ruined my life, my marriage, my career, my sanity, and forced me into bankruptcy and foreclosure. Watch for psychological problems, the toxins that are not filtered out attack the brain. My wife left me less than 6 months after the transplant.
Now my anti-rejection drugs that can run $3200 a month are damaging my kidneys, causing osteopenia, high cholesterol and high blood pressure.
Look into different transplant boards for more help.
Good luck, Jim
