Patient's question:
My classmate's father got sick a few months ago. His father has had liver disease for the past two years. A few months ago, it became severe enough that he fainted and was sent to the hospital. At that time, the doctor said it was hepatic encephalopathy. Now he is in a deep coma due to hepatic encephalopathy, with incontinence. How long can he live in this condition? Is there anything else besides saving him?Doctor's answer:
Now the patient's condition is quite serious. Hepatic encephalopathy has occurred multiple times, with deep confusion, and the likelihood of recovery is very low. However, it also depends on the patient's basic condition, such as blood pressure, body temperature, pulse, heart rate, and urine output. If these data remain stable, there is still a possibility of enduring for one or two months. If these data deteriorate, the patient's time will definitely not be long.
