I want to ask if cirrhosis is hereditary?

Patient's question:

My boyfriend's father has been suffering from cirrhosis for over two years. Although he has been taking medication for treatment, the results have not been ideal. He often feels severe pain in his liver and has no appetite for dinner. He also looks particularly emaciated. The other day, when I mentioned this disease to my family, they were very worried that my boyfriend might also inherit this disease through generations.

Doctor's answer:

Patients with cirrhosis can receive drug treatment and surgical treatment. It is recommended to take liver-protecting tablets. Liver tablets protect the liver and reduce enzyme levels, and are commonly used for the treatment of chronic hepatitis and early cirrhosis. They have a good effect in preventing liver cell fibrosis, and long-term use yields good results. It is important to pay attention to not overexerting oneself, avoiding alcohol, and not taking liver-damaging medications. Drink more water and eat more vegetables and fruits. In addition to receiving standard treatment for cirrhosis, patients also need to pay attention to their diet, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for treatment to ensure a good therapeutic effect.
