Patient known alcoholic now came with jaundice , pedal edema and decreased appetite. As a screening tool i have advised complete LFT, INR, USG abdomen and OGD scopy. Incedentally OGD shows this lind of picture in the stomach , what it could be ? Rest labs are like Hb10 ,Platlet 70000, INR 1.5, T Bili 3.2, Albumin 3.2, rest labs are normal . uSG shows mild ascites with corrhotic liver and large spleen.
