Patient's question:
A colleague of mine and I are particularly close. We usually have dinner together, drink beer together, go to work together, and do everything together. However, recently he was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis. Now he's extremely lacking in energy and appetite. Since we spend so much time together, I'm very upset and I'm afraid I might get this disease too.Doctor's answer:
Don't let yourself suffer from various liver diseases. Get vaccinated if you don't have hepatitis B. Adjust your diet to prevent fatty liver and alcoholic liver disease. Don't use drugs indiscriminately, so you will never get drug-induced liver injury. If you suspect you have acute hepatitis, actively seek treatment and strive to cure it to prevent it from becoming chronic; for liver fluke, get dewormed. Regularly check liver function or ultrasound to detect any abnormalities and address them promptly. If you do these, you can prevent cirrhosis. When patients face the challenges of cirrhosis, we should actively take treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If cirrhosis is not cured despite treatment, it is important to change the treatment plan in a timely manner.
