Patient's question:
No matter what kind of habits, they haven't changed again. However, my father-in-law's weight has increased, and it feels like symptoms of diabetes. Are the complications of liver cirrhosis, hepatic encephalopathy, and diabetes serious? Where can diabetes be relieved? The patient's diet also needs to avoid certain foods, right?Doctor's answer:
The liver is a vital organ for metabolic and decomposition functions in the human body. When cirrhosis of the liver reoccurs, it indicates a decline in the liver's metabolic and decomposition functions, leading to the invasion of various toxins throughout the body, which can disrupt the balance of water and electrolytes. For liver cirrhosis, the most severe complication is hepatic encephalopathy. The invasion of amino acid substances into the blood-brain barrier can cause patients to experience shock, and in severe cases, it can lead to life-threatening conditions. Therefore, early treatment is crucial. On a daily basis, it is advisable to avoid consuming foods high in protein.
