Patient's question:
My friend is currently pregnant. Her husband's mother has liver cirrhosis that has progressed to liver cancer. She is worried that this liver cirrhosis could be inherited across generations. What is the probability of liver cirrhosis being inherited?Doctor's answer:
People with cirrhosis should pay more attention to rest in daily life, avoid staying up late, not drink alcohol or smoke, and maintain a light diet. It has a high hereditary tendency: Key point: Patients with hepatitis B () must receive medication treatment. For hepatitis B () patients with negative DNA test results, it is highly unlikely to be inherited across generations. In fact, cirrhosis is not as frightening as it may seem. Patients should believe that they can overcome the disease. As long as timely treatment is provided at the early stage, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
