Patient's question:
A while ago, my mom told me that my uncle was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis. When I came back, I saw that he had lost a lot of weight, had no energy, and looked very unhealthy. He has been hospitalized for treatment ever since. My uncle's mood isn't good either, and the doctor said this is interfering with his recovery.Doctor's answer:
Cirrhosis is a common chronic progressive liver disease in clinical diagnosis, resulting from diffuse liver damage caused by one or more different causes over a long period or repeatedly. Histologically, it involves extensive hepatocyte necrosis, nodular regeneration of residual hepatocytes, fibrosis and fibrous septa of connective tissue, leading to the destruction of liver lobule structure and the formation of pseudolobules. The liver gradually deforms, hardens, and expands into cirrhosis. Additionally, during the treatment of cirrhosis patients, their dietary condition and nursing are also very important. Patients must pay attention to rest, engage in appropriate activities, and avoid unnecessary injuries.
