real talk: chances of living? no clowning!

[mr bolo]

a family member is in the hospital.
his liver has shut down and one kidney gone.
doc gave him 48 hrs to fight.

how would you live without a liver?
they still have the other kidney right?

any medical NTers please respond with any knowledge.
any NTers please respond with personal or family, friends, etc.,
stories as well.

anything is possible with god in your life

OK, now for a real answer: you can't, hence the 48 hrs to live.

unfortunately it doesn't look good for your family member. the liver is responsible for essential metabolism, produces coagulation factors, and breaks downand metabolizes toxic substances and drugs. it is practically impossible to live without a liver. a liver transplant would help, but at this point itdoesn't seem possible. my prayers are with you and your family.

he was a long time H user.
doc said no liver transplant.
and
no dialysis.
because of past.

history of H abuse would immediately take a patient out of consideration for any transplant, it's really a shame. do you know what treatments theirgiving him, such as meds, or are they just letting him slip away

I don't think its looking good, drugs will wreck your body and dialysis is an option that most people turn to when things start going from bad to worse.Ima pray for you guys, God Bless. (Lets not forget that medical miracles do occur though.)

 

[mr bolo]

i think just i.v. maybe pain meds.
i'm in az.
he's in califas.
flying or driving early tomorrow, to hopefully catch some time.

 

[mr bolo]

thank you guys for your prayers.
i appreciate them on the real.

 

[professor aj xii]

Which family member is it?

 

[ninongbrown]

treatment is probably directed to help him be as comfortable as possible. i hope you get there safe to see him. God is with him now.

 

[mr bolo]

a very close cousin

 

[joseph camel jr]

I mean, good luck and everything, but guys seriously, stop the nonsense.

A miracle can happen? Riiight. Find me someone who is alive with no liver.

 

[weflyhigh23]

Yo..sorry to hear that
My prayers are with you...I know what its like losing a cousin (only death in my family I remember, messed me up real bad)

 

[sickickz23]

Damn, sorry to hear that. My prayers are with you and him......

i understand what you're saying, but your liver is one of the most important organs in the body. it is impossible to live without a liver. now idon't mean to sound insensitive, but in a medical standpoint i don't see a lot of miracles in the hospital. i see patients come and go and we have toaccept that it's their time. my prayers are with his family. seeing as transplant and dialysis are not options, i hope the medical team can give his cousina little bit more time.

 

[joseph camel jr]

Dude read what I wrote. What I said completely agrees with your comment.

 

[mr bolo]

i feel what you meant. j. camel
thanks Mr brown sincerely.
