Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor.... Noted your father having cirrhosis and history of varietal bleed.... So he has chronic liver disease with portal vein hypertension... For exact grading biopsy needed.... But let me know you care has to be taken to avoid further complication... If needed here beta blocker might prescribe for portal hypertension. Low salt diet taken.... High protein diet useful.TIPS like invasive shunt procedure helpful in reducing portal hypertension.... If condition worsen ultimate treatment is liver transplantation... Early in morning take grinned spinach and carrot juice.... One tsp crushed papaya seed with lemon juice helpful... If behavioral abnormality, tremor, sleep disturbance and varietal bleed occur immediately directly consult gastroenterologist.... Take care. Chat Doctor.
