Patient's question:
My father-in-law has been suffering from cholestatic hepatitis and has been taking ursodeoxycholic acid, which is a costly imported product. Is there a good treatment method for cholestatic hepatitis? What should be done about cholestatic hepatitis?Doctor's answer:
This treatment without special effects is best used in conjunction with TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment. Bile duct obstruction and biliary stasis are the causes of acute liver cirrhosis, which can be classified as primary liver cirrhosis and secondary biliary cirrhosis. The latter is caused by long-term obstruction of bile duct units. Primary biliary cirrhosis is generally considered an autoimmune disease, with clinical symptoms alternating between slow progression and deterioration. The daily treatment for hepatitis patients mainly focuses on symptomatic treatment. Patients can take many oral medications, complemented by various vitamins, while also paying attention to self-care, appropriate diet, and avoiding cold foods.
