Patient's question:
How to treat liver fibrosis, hypersplenism, and thrombocytopenia? How long does it take to recover? Please help me! Is there any good method?Doctor's answer:
Platelets at 90,000 per cubic millimeter should be considered acceptable. If there are no other conditions, and only the issue you mentioned exists, you should monitor the situation, get adequate rest, and avoid alcohol. If there is anemia, extremely low platelet count, or other portal hypertension conditions, a splenectomy may be considered. Cirrhosis can lead to portal hypertension, hypersplenism, thrombocytopenia, etc. Portal hypertension can cause ascites, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, and other complications. Currently, cases of cirrhosis are rare unless they are elderly patients who developed chronic hepatitis or schistosomiasis during their youth, which later progressed to cirrhosis.
