How should chronic liver cirrhosis be treated?

Patient's question:

No specific symptoms, discovered liver cirrhosis during a health check-up, liver function is normal, originally an HBV carrier. Age: 58

Doctor's answer:

You have cirrhosis caused by hepatitis B, and your current ALT is 58. But are all other data normal? Generally, for cirrhosis after hepatitis B, when ALT exceeds the normal value by 2 times, which is 80, it is recommended to start antiviral treatment. Since the patient is directly affected by cirrhosis, we should promptly implement symptomatic treatment principles and not avoid seeking medical attention. If the cirrhosis is not effectively treated, it is important to promptly switch to an alternative treatment plan.
