Patient's question:
I contracted hepatitis B ten years ago. At the time, I didn't take it very seriously because I thought my health was still okay. Moreover, as a farmer, I didn't have to worry about gender discrimination from others, so I didn't pay much attention to it. Now, the situation seems to have become more serious. I feel that my stomach has grown a bit. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said I have cirrhosis of the liver due to hepatitis B, and my alpha-fetoprotein levels are a bit high. I heard that asset restructuring human interleukin is effective, so I would like to consult about it. What should I do about cirrhosis?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of cirrhosis should be comprehensively evaluated, including diet and lifestyle, to prevent alcohol consumption and overexertion. For cirrhosis caused by hepatitis B, antiviral treatment is necessary. If alpha-fetoprotein levels decline, liver cancer should be monitored, and regular follow-up tests should be conducted. If alpha-fetoprotein levels fluctuate in sync with alanine aminotransferase (ALT), it may be due to liver cell inflammation. If both indicators are present together, high vigilance is required.In addition, during the treatment of cirrhosis, besides symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and mental state are also very important. The patient must always maintain a positive mood and follow a proper diet to avoid unnecessary negative impacts on the complete recovery of cirrhosis.
