There are plenty of reasons for cirrhosis ;1 viral cause (chronic hepatitis B /C, 2.chronic alcoholism, 3.NASH-non alcoholic steato hepatitis ;4.autoimmune hepatitis. Treating the cause is very important, moreover the bleeding which he was suffering might be fundal/esophageal varices-which was ligated probably through endoscopy. This happens due to the increase in the venous pressure. Considering the age of the patient palliative mode of treatment is best. I ensure that alternative medicines do play a vital role in the same.
