Liver Cirrhosis
My father, who is 67 years old and has asthma, was recently diagnosed with liver cirrhosis. While most of his tests show no abnormalities, his hemoglobin and iron levels are low.
His FIBROSCAN test yielded a CAP score of 252 and a fibrosis score of 33.5.
I'm concerned about the extent of liver damage he may have according to FIBROSCAN report, as doctors are suggesting a transplant, which our family is hesitant to consider. Can you please provide insights into the severity of his liver condition and potential treatment options?
Thank you in advance.
