Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my father's friend has cirrhosis of the liver now and has to take medicine all day. My father used to always hang out with him, eating and drinking together. I'm worried my father might also have this disease, so I want to ask what are the early symptoms of cirrhosis of the liver? So I can compare and see if my father has any of them.Doctor's answer:
Early liver cirrhosis, in addition to appropriate medical advice and symptomatic treatment, also requires active and meticulous examination to identify the specific causes of early liver cirrhosis. If there are identifiable causes, efforts should be made to remove them, avoid alcohol consumption, and appropriately use liver-protecting medications under medical advice. Appropriate control measures should be implemented to shorten the patient's lifespan. If it is in the middle or late stage, the main focus is on symptomatic treatment.
