Patient's question:
My uncle has always hated smoking and drinking beer. He used to drink a little every day, and it has been 18 years since he started living like that. During this time, he went to the hospital for a health check-up and found something unusual with his body. The doctor diagnosed it as liver cirrhosis. How should it be treated? How should liver cirrhosis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Cirrhosis is a common chronic progressive liver disease in clinical diagnosis. For the treatment of cirrhosis, hypertonic glucose solution can be administered intravenously to digest calories, and the infusion can include substances such as vitamin C, insulin, and potassium chloride. It is important to maintain water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance. Patients with more severe conditions may receive albumin and fresh plasma. Cirrhosis patients can, while understanding symptomatic treatment, use dietary therapy as a complementary treatment in daily life. Proper diet should be maintained in daily eating habits to avoid stimulating foods.
