Patient's question:
Often mentioned hepatitis and cirrhosis, but what are the differences between hepatitis and cirrhosis? Why do some people say hepatitis can expand into cirrhosis? Is there any connection between hepatitis and cirrhosis? I myself am an HBV carrier.Doctor's answer:
Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:I. Hepatitis is divided into acute hepatitis and chronic hepatitis, while cirrhosis is generally caused by chronic hepatitis.
II. Hepatitis is often caused by external factors such as viruses, drugs, and alcohol, while cirrhosis is often caused by various chronic liver diseases.
III. Hepatitis can cause liver cell damage, while cirrhosis causes liver fibrosis, interfering with liver function, which is more serious. It is recommended that you get re-examined by a hospital regularly. Many patients with cirrhosis regret it too late because they ignored the condition, leading to the malignant transformation of liver disease, which then resulted in cirrhosis. For severe hepatitis patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and receive treatment immediately based on the doctor's advice. Do not blindly trust advertisements or drugs for treatment, to avoid making the condition worse.
