Patient's question:
Grandpa has cirrhosis and ascites, and my dad also has ascites and cirrhosis. Will this affect me?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, liver cirrhosis with ascites indicates the presence of hepatitis B. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for blood tests to check liver function. If the results are normal, and if there is hepatitis, it is advised to undergo antiviral treatment to prevent the condition from worsening. If there is no hepatitis, it is recommended to get vaccinated with the hepatitis B vaccine. In fact, having liver cirrhosis is not something to be feared. Patients should believe that they can overcome the disease. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovering are very high.
