Patient's question:
Recently, I heard that a friend of mine, who was young, got cirrhosis of the liver and went to the hospital for treatment. He stayed there for a long time, but in the end, he still couldn't be saved and passed away. We all felt very sad. We only knew that he had cirrhosis of the liver, but we didn't really understand the other specific symptoms. Cirrhosis of the liver is truly a terrible disease.Doctor's answer:
Cirrhosis is a common chronic diffuse progressive disease, caused by various different reasons leading to chronic widespread liver parenchymal damage. Widespread cellular degeneration, suppuration, and swelling replace fibrotic fibrous tissue, destroying the normal liver lobular structure, gradually hardening the liver and resulting in cirrhosis. This disease is not easy to recover from. Friends with the disease should maintain a positive mindset and face it with a proactive attitude, as only this can boost the patient's confidence in combating cirrhosis and believe that recovery is certain.
