I have a 32 year old male friend who was diagnosed with acute liver cirrhosis. He has a history of drinking. He has currently lost a lot of weight and has edema of the abdomen and extreme weakness. He is currently on pironolacton 1*1, lasix 1*1 and thiamine 1*1 is there any better treatment option I can have to save him? Can he be saved without a liver transplant? Is it too late? How better can I manage this condition to slow down progress and increase his longevity thank you.
