My dad has cirrhosis of the liver and developed ascites. His condition has been roughly stable with lots of fatigue and pain medication. So far he has had no jaundice and has been able to quit alcohol. He was diagnosed about 2 months ago and had his 2 drainings since.

Hi and welcome to the forum,

We are sorry to read that your Dad has liver disease. You may find our publication 'Cirrhosis of the liver' useful to read:

It is important to get specific medical advice from your Dad's own medical team regarding prognosis, they will take into account his symptoms, test results and any grading systems they use to provide an informed response.

Best wishes.
