Patient's question:
I am 38 years old. Recently, I feel that my liver is very tired. I haven't had a good appetite. At night, I always feel a sharp pain in my stomach. I went to the nearby hospital for a check-up and was told it was liver disease. They asked me to get an injection. How should I handle frequent hepatic coma?Doctor's answer:
Recurrent hepatic encephalopathy is likely due to excessively high blood ammonia levels in the body that have not been promptly and thoroughly cleared. This is a late-stage manifestation of liver disease and is relatively dangerous. It is recommended that you use lactulose for bowel movement, which helps expel blood ammonia from the intestines out of the body. Additionally, using ornithine aspartate and glutamine can help neutralize blood ammonia in the body. Their combined use in treating the primary condition can help alleviate hepatic encephalopathy.
