Patient's question:
Father was diagnosed with alcoholic liver disease at the beginning of this year. He returned home for strict treatment. Last month, the re-examination results showed it had transformed into cirrhosis, and now ascites has reappeared again. Seeing his large belly, his inability to eat anything, and his suffering, my heart aches deeply. However, I don't know what to do.Doctor's answer:
Last month's follow-up results showed the condition had worsened to liver cirrhosis, and now ascites has reappeared. Seeing his large abdomen and the inability to eat anything, along with his suffering expression, it makes me feel extremely heartbroken, but I don't know what to do.Primary liver cirrhosis refers to a condition where there are no specific clinical symptoms or signs, and liver function tests show no significant abnormalities, but there are already clear pathological changes in liver histology. If not treated promptly and effectively, allowing the condition to worsen, it may lead to advanced liver cirrhosis or liver cancer.
For severe liver cirrhosis patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid changing medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect on the treatment outcome.
