Patient's question:
My uncle has always been particularly disgusted by smoking and drinking beer. He drinks a little every day, and after 18 years of doing so, he recently went to the hospital for a health check-up. He noticed something unusual with his body, and the doctor diagnosed it as liver cirrhosis. How should it be treated? I think I understand. How is liver cirrhosis 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 vitamin C, insulin, potassium chloride, etc. Attention should be paid to maintaining water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance. For patients with more severe conditions, albumin and fresh plasma can be administered. For patients, if the cirrhosis condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be provided, otherwise it may lead to a recurrence of cirrhosis. In addition, patients should always maintain a cheerful mood to avoid worsening the condition.
