My brother in law is an alcholic, has hepatitis C and has one kidney. The doctor says his liver is dead. I asked my wife find out what his liver values are and maybe someone on this board could tell us what is going on. The doctor said what are you talking about. As far I know, he does have a spot on his liver but no one will tell us how this organ is functioning. Could someone please help me and tell what to look for and detetrmine how bad this is.
