[|Human|] my friend was diagnosed ten years ago with portal vein thrombosis and just found out he has cirrohsis of the liver.  the doctor also said he is not a candidate for operation as he has an enlarged spleen and numerous variocies (not sure of spelling)....what are his options and how much quality  time does he have left?
[|AI|]  1) your friend may have cirrhosis (liver damage) with portal hypertension (spleen enlarge) associated with portal vein thrombosis.2) liver transplantation is treatment for this but portal vein thrombosis is relative contraindication for this depending upon severity of thrombosis.3) his quality of life depends on his current medication status and current investigation details. In case of extended thrombosis, without possibility of transplantation, he needs to continue medication support for better life.
