My husband has cirrhosis due to hep C which was treated successfully but he was left with cirhossis which is stable but still serious of course.  Due to years in the building business both of his knees are in bad shape.  Would he ever be able to have his knees replaced with his liver condition?
Hi thanks for asking question. Once you get infected with hepatitis c chances of getting converted into chronic infection is more. So as you have cirrhosis. Yes liver transplant is final best treatment for it... If not feasible TIPS like shunt placement can be done... Your knee problem could be by osteoarthritis secondary to vitamin D deficiency induce by cirrhosis.x-ray or if you need MRI done for detecting severity. If possible PRP injection or disease modifying Chat Doctor. If needed as final option knee replacement done. For cirrhosis if ascites develop diuretic taken. Low salt diet useful. Take care
