How are cirrhosis and tuberculosis treated?

Patient's question:

Recently, ascites reappeared, and it was diagnosed as liver cirrhosis ascites. Since January, I have often had fever, with the highest temperature in the morning to afternoon reaching 38 degrees Celsius, and the highest rise from afternoon to evening reaching 39.5 degrees Celsius.

Doctor's answer:

Firstly, it is necessary to correct the liver function impairment caused by decompensated cirrhosis. Secondly, nucleoside drugs should be used to suppress the replication of the hepatitis B virus. Once the liver function improves and the virus is suppressed, tuberculosis treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, liver-protecting medications should be taken. Tuberculosis medication cannot be discontinued, and it is essential to actively participate in exercise to enhance the immune system, which will also benefit the patient. In addition to timely treatment, cirrhosis patients need to pay attention to maintaining deep sleep in their daily lives. Sufficient deep sleep will help you recover from the disease as soon as possible. I hope the above answer can assist you.
