Patient's question:
I am 46 years old. After checking at the hospital, I was found to have primary biliary cirrhosis, and ascites has recurred again. The spleen has enlarged, and I have been using insulin for a long time due to diabetes. I want to know if it can still be treated well now? How should it be treated now? Surgery or medication?Doctor's answer:
46 years old, and now liver cirrhosis has recurred with hepatic encephalopathy. The cause of this disease is the blood containing toxins that has not been resolved or resolved incompletely, flowing directly to the brain, leading to abnormal functioning of brain cells. If the spleen is removed without changing the blood resolution, the encephalopathy cannot be completely eliminated, and it may even increase the likelihood of recurrence. The anemia and thrombocytopenia caused by the spleen, if left unresolved, will worsen. The spleen still needs to be removed when necessary. In addition to timely treatment for liver cirrhosis, patients also need to pay attention to nursing aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
