Patient's question:
My family member has been hospitalized three times due to liver cirrhosis caused by primary biliary cholangitis, and has undergone stem cell transplantation. The liver is stable, but they were admitted again for esophageal bleeding due to variceal rupture caused by portal hypertension and received medication. After discharge, they are resting at home, but are experiencing dizziness and difficulty sleeping, as well as poor appetite.Doctor's answer:
The current condition of patients with cirrhosis is quite severe, and it is recommended that they be hospitalized for treatment. If cirrhotic patients suffer from severe anemia, it is advisable to implement qi replenishment while providing liver protection and treatment. For cirrhotic patients, undergoing surgery is a relatively fast way to replenish qi. Additionally, it is recommended that in daily life, many products that can slow down qi replenishment be utilized, such as foods that benefit the liver, red meat, and others, all of which have qi-replenishing functions. The daily treatment for cirrhotic patients primarily involves medication. Patients can take various oral medications and supplement them with vitamins. Moreover, attention should be paid to diet, consuming light, soft, and easily digestible foods.
