Patient's question:
Did an ultrasound and it said there were changes consistent with cirrhosis, a small amount of ascites in the abdomen, low albumin, slightly enlarged spleen, liver cysts, and thickened gallbladder wall.Doctor's answer:
The situation you mentioned should be considered quite serious, indicating the decompensation stage of cirrhosis. There is hypoalbuminemia and splenomegaly. I don't know what caused the cirrhosis? Post-hepatitis B? Alcoholic liver disease? Fatty liver disease? Or drug-induced due to long-term medication? Or autoimmune, and so on. What other tests have been done? I suggest you seek medical treatment immediately and have an MRI to examine the condition of your liver. Ultrasound cannot be used as a standard to assess the severity of the disease. Consider having an endoscopy or upper gastrointestinal contrast to check for esophageal and gastric varices.Regarding treatment, dietary precautions are important. Avoid hard foods and those high in fiber. Opt for a high-calorie diet, rest, and avoid physical labor.
