Dear Patient,

Liver fibrosis needs to be staged. It's a serious illness often in hepatitis B or C patients. It means the liver has started scarring and is damaged and not functioning as well. Blood from the mouth can be expected. She needs blood testing for viral markers and treatment. I'm attaching an article you can read below. Please consult a liver specialist/hepatologist for this or an expert medical specialist.
