Was diagnosed about 5yrs ago, thinks he may have had it for at least 30 years. Stopped drinking alcohol when he found out. He had a
hernia repair a month ago, started developing ascites, then developed peritonitis, sodium levels dropped to 19, went back up to 24, then back down to 20 and this is even while he is on a med called samsca which helps keep sodium levels up. The kidney dr states his kidneys are fine, but they are trying to keep his liver from destroying his kidneys.
