Patient's question:
My grandmother passed away from ascites of the liver, and my grandfather passed away from liver cancer. My father currently has liver cirrhosis. Hello, does this condition have a hereditary effect across generations?Doctor's answer:
Some types of hepatitis can be inherited across generations, but there is also a chance that hepatitis B patients in a family may spread the virus through mother-to-child transmission, close living contact, leading to familial outbreaks. If not treated promptly, it can progress to liver cirrhosis and liver cancer. Perhaps the gene associated with carcinogens plays a significant role in the harm liver disease brings to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and pay close attention to self-care, such as eating more fruits and vegetables and avoiding foods. It is hoped that liver patients can receive professional treatment.
