Mr. Lybrate-user, diabetes mellitus most often does not produce any symptoms, that is one of the reasons why many people do not realise that they have the disease.

In t2 there are many oral anti-d...more

Just to give you a brief background, my father is 72 years old and a diabetic and has Hepatitis C and previously suffered a Diabetic stroke 2 years and had resultant some brain damage from which he made an almost full recovery. He was hospitalized then for a about 2 months and he could recollect all before and after the hospital stay. Recently it was identified that he has some blood clots in his brain and a clot removal surgery was recommended by the local doctors who referred us to another hospital in a another city. The neurosurgeons there have advised that as it currently stands the surgery poses a high risk of post surgery hemorrhage and to compound the problem, he is now highly anaemic. The doctors have advised that he undertakes treatment with clot dissolving medication for a few weeks and then check response to before we go in for surgery due to the risk factors. My father is experiencing intermittent loss of coordination and feeling numb on one side arm and leg which lasts for sometime and then he normalizes. Please could you kindly advise what our next course of action should be. We would highly value your thoughts on this and recommendations. An urgently reply would be greatly appreciated.

Dear lybrate-user,
the clot which is present in your father's brain is responsible for the sudden numbness & loss of co-ordination of one side.

However, this ceasation of blood flow does not last for a long time & the blood flow agains starts within a short period. As a result your father normalizes after some time. Along with the medicines which your father are taking you can also g...more

Hi!
Unfortunately Gilbert's syndrome is precipitated by stress and fasting( both reasons you are suffering with)
Total bilirubin 6 is not at all good as it is approaching the danger zone.
But once you are free of stress it will comedown to normal levels very quick( thank god)
Join yoga classes believe me it is the ultimate solution without any side effects .
Also make sure you don't skip meals, if you are busy at least carry some biscuits with you but don't skip food.

Since you are in ahmedabad. Few suggestions.
1) continue treatment of hep b 2) fibroscan can help you get the assessment of liver stiffness in case you don't have ascites on usg.

Hi,
from the details provided by you, I understand that you have cirrhosis of liver with chronic hepatitis b infection as the cause.

You need to continue with anti-viral medications for hepatitis b and cardivas along with regular screening and follo...more
