Please consult a qualified hepatologist at a transplant center with all reports alnong with uncleji . If he has cirrhosis, then at some point , he may need liver transplant. At present you need to know when to transplant. By that time we need to optimize his health to postpone transplant as far as possible.
Please get LFT, INR, sodium , creatiine , AFP level, USG abdomen and meet a hepatologist.
You may also calculate his MELD score from internet once u do these tests and if score is more than 15, there are high chances that be will need a liver transplant. U may follow his progress by calculating his MELD score every 3 to 6 months
