My father has chronic liver disease with ascites and kidney function fluctuations. Recently he developed high fever with chills and was admitted to the hospital. Doctors treated him with antibiotics and albumin, and the fluid test ruled out SBP. Thankfully the fever and chills are now under control.

Right now his biggest issues are weakness, fatigue, weight loss from diuretics, low hemoglobin, and sleeping a lot during the day. However, he still wakes up properly, talks normally, recognizes everyone, eats small meals, and his oxygen and blood pressure are mostly stable.

Doctors advised continuing albumin support and medicines for possible ammonia-related sleepiness. I wanted to ask if anyone has seen a similar recovery pattern in cirrhosis patients after infection and hospital treatment. How long did the weakness and daytime sleepiness take to improve?

My father has cirrhosis, most of the time he sleeps in day no sign of HE, he has glossy ascites but not bothering him that much.
Is sleepiness is normal in cirrhosis or could it be a sign of something?

My father's creatinine is going up due to cirrhosis, despite giving him albumin and some antibiotics. It is not decreasing and the HB is also under 6. Any idea on it?
