How is decompensated cirrhosis treated?

Patient's question:

Onset of illness for over a month. Hospital diagnosis: decompensated cirrhosis, C grade. Upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Hepatic encephalopathy

Doctor's answer:

Leeches have the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and are generally suitable for early-stage liver cirrhosis patients to consume. However, if the current patient has broken skin, leeches should not be used, as promoting blood circulation could increase the risk of aggravating the broken skin. I hope this is helpful to you.
In addition, during the treatment of liver cirrhosis, besides immediate medical intervention, the patient's dietary condition and mental state are also crucial. The patient must maintain a light diet and always keep a cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary interference in the complete recovery from liver cirrhosis.
