Gboliwe:brother, God bless your efforts as regarding hammed. But I'll advice he goes to Uch. Uch is a quartinary hospital, quite better than Luth IMO. I have been there a couple of times as a pharmacist, tho I don't have a contact there who could be of help, but I believe he'll GEt better diagnosis and treatment at Uch. Remember, at Luth they said they could find nothing earlier. No one would readily submit to there inefficiency especially publicly. I pray he gets well. God bless nairalanders. |

Gboliwe: I see your point. Serological tests is being done to rule out cancer and narrow it down to a non-malignant liver disease although it might be a false alarm, so he needs a referral to an Hepatologist. Hope LUTH or UCH or LASUTH has one cos he should be under the care of a Specialist since they suspected bleeding. He needs an ultrasound, but not at N53k they quoted, haba! Does one need to go to hospital to check blood pressure in Nigeria? Or could he get someone to check both sides whilst he is at home waiting? |

Below is their recommendation for diagnosis as this would give a guide for treatment; A complete blood count (CBC) may be helpful in looking for potential infection (an elevated white blood cell count), anemia (a low hemoglobin ), and indirectly, liver function (low platelet count). Other blood tests may be helpful in assessing electrolyte balance, kidney and liver function, and the amount of protein in the body. If the patient presents with new-onset ascites, paracentesis is recommended to obtain samples of the fluid for analysis to assist in making the diagnosis. Removal of the fluid may assist with symptom control. Paracentesis is a sterile procedure whereby a needle is placed through the abdominal wall into the peritoneal cavity and fluid is removed. Gastroenterologists (specialists in the digestive system including the liver) use a formula measuring the amount of albumin (protein) in the blood compared to the amount found in the ascites fluid to help them classify the type of ascites and assist with the diagnosis. If the amount of protein is higher in the serum, it may be due to liver disease, heart failure, and Budd-Chiari syndrome. If the ratio is low, then cancer and pancreatitis are potential causes. Laboratory tests on the ascites fluid may include evaluation for infection and the assessment of electrolytes and other substances. 1 Like |

I've been following this thread since it came up on frontage yesterday....... I pray to the Almighty to grant quick recovery to OP.... I'm a medical student of University of Ibadan/UCH, though I don't know much about this disease for now but I can shed some light to it...... From this ascites, I can see two probable cause 1) peritonitis. 2) portal hypertension I will rule 1 above out because the cause is mild and easily treateable The other, portal hypertension, has a lot of underlying cause ranging from hepatitis, hepatocarcinoma, pancreatitis, pancreatic tumor and any abdominal cancer etc What I think should be the next line of action-..... One or two Nairalander should accompany OP to LUTH today or tomorrow (whichever is feasible) with the intention/mindset that we have enough money to treat OP, hear out the CONSULTANT(not Registrar or a Medical offricer), consultant I reapeat, in charge of OP case. If they still sound clueless, I beg ask for referral to UCH, Ibadan(if possibe, see if an ambulance with a medical doctor can accompany to Ibadan) All in all, I think with enough money all things can be done and OP can get intensive care in LUTH, UCH or abroad 6 Likes |
