Patient's question:
Discharge, at that time the liver cirrhosis index was 24.8. After discharge, now the platelet count is 54. Currently taking antiviral medication and traditional Chinese medicine. The traditional Chinese medicine contains pangolin, which is too expensive. Is there any alternative medication? What should I do now?Doctor's answer:
Cirrhosis is caused by long-term liver inflammation induced by the hepatitis B virus. Antiviral treatment can prevent the progression of cirrhosis. However, it has now been discovered that as the disease progresses to the cirrhosis stage, the virus tends to increase even as the condition becomes milder. The severity of liver inflammation is not proportional to the amount of virus present. The virus copies itself even in inflamed liver tissue. Currently, the focus should be on treating cirrhosis.Western medicine cannot cure cirrhosis, but traditional Chinese medicine can. Traditional Chinese medicine formula "Fuhang Decoction" can shrink fibrotic tissue, clear heat and detoxify, activate blood circulation to remove stasis, nourish yin and strengthen the kidneys, stabilize intrahepatic blood circulation, and prevent liver cell necrosis. It can reverse cirrhosis and treat it at its root.
