Patient's question:
In my impression, my uncle has always been in good health, especially with a particularly loud voice, giving off a strong aura. A week ago, when I went home to visit my parents, I also took the opportunity to check on my uncle. When I saw him, I noticed his complexion was yellowish, and he looked extremely lacking in energy. My aunt told me he had developed liver cirrhosis, which I found very hard to understand. Therefore, I would like to consult about the causes of this condition.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, and the co-infection of hepatitis B virus and hepatitis D virus may all lead to cirrhosis through the second stage of chronic alcoholic hepatitis. Drug abuse is a common cause of cirrhosis. Chronic alcoholism can cause cirrhosis; long-term chronic bile stasis can lead to liver cell inflammation and bile duct reaction, and even recurrent suppuration, resulting in biliary cirrhosis. Patients face the harm of cirrhosis, and we should actively implement examinations and treatment, without avoiding medical visits. If cirrhosis is not cured after prolonged treatment, a new treatment plan should be adopted in a timely manner.
