My father has just been found to have cirrhosis of the liver. At this point they do not know what caused it. He never drinks, and does not have Hepatitis. He just came out of the hospital after having a transfusion due to a very low hemoglobin and that's when they found the liver problems.
His doctor has now left for vacation until July and i'm left wondering if some of his medications may be causing his problems. Is there anyplace that i can get a specific list of meds that could cause Cirrhosis? any other causes besides alcohol abuse, hepatitis or certain medications? Or are they the only causes possible?
He also has all the symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy. i'd like to know also if there are certain tests they can preform to find out if he indeed does have this problem.
Any help Appreciated.
