Patient's question:
The size and shape of the liver are generally normal, but the capsule is not smooth. The echogenicity of the liver parenchyma is uneven and significantly thickened. Diffusely arranged hyperechoic and hypoechoic nodules are observed in the liver, with the largest measuring approximately 0.8 cm. The course of intrahepatic vessels is unclear. The diameter of the main portal vein is 1.2 cm. The spleen has a thickness of 3.7 cm and a length of 11.5 cm, with uniform parenchymal echogenicity.HBV DNA test result: HBV_DNA 2.243E+4. Alpha-fetoprotein: 5.61. Carcinoembryonic antigen: 4.20. Carbohydrate antigen 28.37. Alanine aminotransferase: 34.10. Aspartate aminotransferase: 31.30. Peptidyl transferase: 32.80. All other tests are normal.
Doctor's answer:
Currently, you need to have an immediate liver CT scan to determine the nature of the liver nodules. If they are cirrhosis-related nodules, there is no need to be anxious. Your liver function is still in a relatively good condition. If there are no other issues, it is sufficient to focus on follow-up examinations, avoid alcohol consumption, and refrain from overexertion.In addition, during the treatment of cirrhosis, besides timely medical intervention, the patient's dietary habits and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must maintain a light diet and consistently keep a cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary interference in the complete recovery from cirrhosis.
