last stages of death patients

7 Any of these things can lead to the cause of death. Patients with IPF can die from heart failure, respiratory failure, or collapsed lungs.

Liver problems (rarely, liver function worsens) including an increased chance of liver failure in patients with cirrhosis. Patients with both the hepatitis C virus and HIV have an increased chance of liver failure during PEGASYS treatment. Change in a blood test that measures liver inflammation occurs more often in patients with hepatitis B. If you have a rise in this blood test you may need to be watched more closely with additional blood tests.

It sounds like your husband is in a difficult situation. The answer to "what next" depends on what you mean by last stages of "chronic liver & hep c". If by "chronic liver" you mean chronic hepatitis C (HCV), this is just a chronic viral infection and there is no stage associated with it. It's characteristics are mainly viral load (the number of virus cells replicating in the blood) and genotype (the particular type of hepatitis C virus).

These complications result from portal hypertension and/or from liver insufficiency. The survival of both stages is markedly different with compensated patients having a median survival time of over 12 years compared to decompensated patients who survive less than 2 years (1, 3). It has also been shown that both stages have different predictors of death (1).

Hi, My 11 year old maltese was diagnosed with chronic renal failure in November '14. She is on Pepcid and blood pressure meds. A few days ago she was also diagnosed with Demodex and is on oral medicine to cure it. I am going into the vet's office on Friday for new blood work / check up. I am have read about other dogs' symptoms and I am wondering if there is any sort of progression with the symptoms.

Coinfection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) is not uncommon, particularly because of similar routes of infection. In HBV-infected patients, the rate of HCV coinfection ranges from 10% to 30%.[1] Patients who are coinfected have various serologic and virologic profiles and a diverse spectrum of disease.

Cirrhosis, in particular the development of portal hypertension, is responsible for the clinical manifestations of chronic liver disease, although it is heterogeneous both histologically and clinically, and one of the flaws of current histological scoring systems is that cirrhosis is represented as one or at most two stages. Clinically Patients with cirrhosis may be symptomatic or near death.

I thought there were only 4 stages of liver disease, not 6. Anyone know what the pathology report cirrhosis stage 6/6 might mean? Thank you.

Is he on any oxygen? IF he isn't then maybe his extreme tiredness is because his O2 levels are too low. If he is on O2 already, it still could be that he isn't getting enough oxygen. What do his doctors say about this? Also, as his work of breathing increases, he will be more tired as well. I would talk to his doctor about your concerns, maybe he should be re evaluated to make sure that he is getting enough oxygen, perhaps meds need changing etc...Only his doc will know for sure.

He is yellow and the whites of his eyes are more yellow. How long can a person last like this. He will not give up his drinking. He has been drinking everyday for 15 years.

While a few different systems are used, by the descriptive language you use, it appears that he's now stage 3 in a 4 stage system where stage 4 is cirrhosis. In general, Hepatitis C is fairly slow moving but not in all cases. Also, you should understand that biopsy staging can be off by as much as two stages due to sample size, relative sample size and pathologist bias. .

I'm living it right now and to be honest, I am aware of 5 to 7 steps or stages of the grief process, but they don't matter, because you survive one day at a time ....baby steps, and not time frame, since everyone heals at their own pace. It's been 2 years for me and I do feel better, but I am not yet completely healed...it takes a long time.

Hi, I received good replies back about the 2 different scales that measure the biopsy results. However, are these stages of cirrohsis? I'm not sure I understand this part yet. I am preparing for tx and am quite apprehensive about the whole thing. I stll have to get documentation of contraceptives then I can start tx.They recommended Mirena (IUD) because it involves only 1 hormone. My insurance does not cover it so if I do not want to afford $900.00 I can take the deprovera injection.

Even patients with cirrhosis reversed the damage. 10% of patients with cirrhosis completely repaired their livers. It is not uncommon in patients who SVR and continue to care for their livers to have a fibrosis reversal by 2 stages (that figure is from a different study).

You have to understand that these young people have a cardiomyopathy problem such as Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. This form of cardiomyopathy can cause a sudden death event in about 2% on the population due to ventricular arrhythmias. It is the most common form of cardiomyopathy found in young people at autopsy.

I am so very sorry about your little dog's passing. I obviously can't tell you what the cause of his death was. Only a necropsy (autopsy) could determine that. I am making an educated guess however, as when you said he had belly contractions, this reminded me of my own dear dog who passed from hemangiosarcoma. She had a massive internal bleed in her last few hours, and kept contracting her belly muscles. I know this was an instinct to try to get something out of her insides.

I am going to have a fibroscan in a couple of weeks and i am expecting to have advanced liver fibrosis and ciarrhosis (not sure if thats spelt right)! I have heard of ciarrhosis measured in terms of 'stages', can anyone give me any infomation on what the stages mean so that i can be a little prepared for my appointment?

I think there are different stages of addiction..the early stages which are most easily broken and then the last stages where one has to do or die. Actually as i type I realize that one always has to do or die because if one does not stop in the early stages it can progress to a much more difficult time and a more difficult recovery.

Death is cruel and unmerciful and it will be necessary for you to experience the stages of the grief process, which will be very difficult, but necessary to heal. I had 7 deaths in 8 month's in 07', which included my mother dying in my arms of CHF and diabities, brother in law the following week, future father in law the following week, my wedding had to be postpone, mom, best friend who attended her wake and burial, my brother loss a baby 2 wks. before Christmas and I loss my job also.

The usual diuretic regimen for ascites consists of single morning doses of oral spironolactone and furosemide, beginning with 100 mg of the former and 40 mg of the latter. Hair failing out is not a symptom of liver disease unless you mean you are losing body hair and not the hair on your head. What do you mean edema up to your neck? Edema typical manifests itself in patients with advanced liver disease as ascites (abdominal fluid) or fluid in the lower extremities, legs and feet.

My question is whether somone could show resistance to antibiotics within the first weeks of exposure or is this more common in more advanced stages of HIV/AIDS?
