Patient's question:
Liver cirrhosis has progressed to the late stage. I would like to ask, what are the dietary methods for late-stage liver cirrhosis?Doctor's answer:
Low-protein diet, consume some high-quality protein, such as fish. Eat vegetables rich in dietary fiber, like celery. Supplement iron, such as spinach. It is advisable to eat a large amount of meat and protein-rich foods to avoid causing hepatic encephalopathy, also known as hepatic coma. Patients with advanced cirrhosis should avoid getting angry or overexerting themselves, pay attention to regulation, and undergo regular hospital check-ups. Hospitalization may be necessary if needed. Maintain regular bowel movements and consider drinking some lactulose daily to promote bowel regularity. The general treatment methods include jaundice reduction, liver protection, and other rescue measures. There are many treatment methods for cirrhosis, but since the symptoms of patients differ, the treatment methods adopted also vary. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon noticing symptoms.
