Patient's question:
I am 38 years old and recently 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 advised me to get injections. How can subacute severe hepatitis and hepatic encephalopathy be treated?Doctor's answer:
This disease is primarily treated with antiviral therapy and liver protection therapy. For patients infected with the hepatitis B virus, active antiviral treatment should be administered to prevent viral replication. Liver protection therapy is the main focus, requiring combined medication to enhance efficacy, followed by symptomatic treatment such as fluid replacement and stomach protection. If liver failure occurs again, artificial liver support may be necessary. In daily life, a light diet should be maintained. Active participation in physical exercise is encouraged to regulate physical and mental health, as well as to maintain personal hygiene.
