<s>[INST] Hello, my mother used to drink for 12-14 years then sobered up for about 7. Then she met a man that drank, and for the last 10 years has been drinking as well. She now is sick all the time, with vomiting, hives, loose stools, and has extremly swollen legs and ankels, should I be worried that she is in liver failure? [/INST] Hello,With the kind of symptoms you are telling it is quite sure that she is having increasing liver failure and may be some renal diseases also.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. B.dinesh </s>
