Why does cirrhosis lead to death?

Patient's question:

Liver cirrhosis was detected during hospital examination, with the left lobe of the liver showing atrophy, the liver margin presenting a wavy change, and the liver density being uneven within. Two types of slightly high-density circular shadows were observed in the right lobe of the liver, while no significant expansion of intrahepatic or extrahepatic bile ducts was found. The gallbladder exhibited uneven density with point-like high-density shadows. The spleen was reduced in size, measuring 7 costal units.

Doctor's answer:

In the early to middle stages of cirrhosis, although it may cause interference and inconvenience in life, it does not pose a significant threat to the soul. Once cirrhosis progresses to the late stage, the condition becomes critical, and it can threaten the patient's soul at any time. Regardless of whether it is in the early, middle, or late stages of cirrhosis, active treatment can help suppress the condition. Moreover, the earlier the treatment begins, the more beneficial it is for the patient's physical recovery, and the lower the cost. Additionally, during the treatment period, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial. The patient must digest vitamins, prevent stomach problems, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
