Patient's question:
I am 38 years old. Recently, I feel that my liver is very tired. I haven't had a good appetite, and 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 is hepatic encephalopathy treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, for hepatic encephalopathy, medication can be used for treatment. Medications that reduce ammonia and protect brain cells should be taken. Actively suppress bleeding from the digestive tract to prevent shock, correct electrolyte imbalances and acid-base and endocrine disorders. It can increase the excretion and metabolism of ammonia in the intestines. Lactulose can effectively promote intestinal peristalsis, enhance defecation, and increase the formation of ammonia. Participate actively in physical exercise to regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
