My uncle has had liver disease for a long time, but it has become severe recently. Now he has some ascites and went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said it's early-stage cirrhosis. We are very worried and don't know what to do. The whole family is troubled by this matter.Doctor's answer:
How to Treat Early Liver Cirrhosis1. When treating early liver cirrhosis, it is crucial to actively suppress the primary disease: The first step in treating early liver cirrhosis is to actively identify and suppress the primary disease to cut off the pathway of liver damage. For example, in the case of post-viral hepatitis cirrhosis, antiviral therapy, promoting blood circulation and softening the liver, and a comprehensive evaluation of treatment should be adopted to reverse liver cirrhosis. For alcoholic liver cirrhosis, abstinence from alcohol and targeted treatments such as promoting blood circulation and softening the liver should be implemented to reverse liver cirrhosis, and so on. When patients face the challenge of liver cirrhosis, we should actively adopt treatment measures and avoid delaying medical consultation. If liver cirrhosis does not respond to treatment, it is essential to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
