As doctors have already told you that it is end stage liver disease, so now the state of liver damage may be irreversible. But you can start him on no salt veg protein diet. Fluid restriction of around 1.5 to 2 ltrs. Diuretics can be tried afters doctor's consultation with constat watch on electrolytes and renal function.
