Patient's question:
My father started feeling weak all over, lazy, and unmotivated in 2008, and then he developed a fever of about 38 degrees Celsius.Doctor's answer:
From your description, I understand that your father has splenomegaly, low white blood cells, and low platelets. This is a recurrence due to the progression of liver cirrhosis to the decompensated stage of liver function. It is one of the most significant complications of liver cirrhosis. Splenomegaly can lead to a recurrence of low platelets and white blood cells, as well as esophageal and gastric varices, which can cause severe bleeding.Interventional treatment (splenic embolization) has already been performed, and his condition has improved. Now, it is necessary to focus on rehabilitation. Currently, there is no specific medication for liver cirrhosis. It is recommended that your father first focus on mental well-being. He should avoid anger and fatigue, maintain a positive mental state, and ensure he is always happy.
