Patient's question:
Last year, my grandfather was diagnosed with moderate liver cirrhosis. He had initially only been experiencing poor appetite and some nausea. Later, during a full-body check-up, the liver cirrhosis was discovered. He has been taking traditional Chinese medicine for regulation and has been persistently undergoing regular check-ups. We want to pay more attention to his diet.Doctor's answer:
Cirrhosis is a common chronic progressive liver disease. Patients with cirrhosis generally have poor appetite and increased absorption function.Hello! The dietary principles for cirrhosis patients are easy to digest and rich in nutrition. The dietary structure should be: "three highs and sufficient fat," which means high calories, high protein, high vitamins, and sufficient fat. It should be on a regular schedule, in fixed amounts, and with restraint.
The daily treatment for cirrhosis patients is mainly symptomatic treatment. Patients can take many oral medications, combined with various vitamins, and pay attention to their diet by eating light, soft, and liquid foods. We hope that cirrhosis patients can recover as soon as possible! Thank you!
