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 advised me to get injections. How is polycystic liver disease treated?Doctor's answer:
Polycystic Liver Surgery: Surgical intervention is generally not recommended unless the inflammation is confined to one lobe of the liver and accompanied by symptoms, or if malignancy is suspected. When some cysts grow rapidly, compress adjacent organs, and significantly affect the patient's daily life or cardiopulmonary function, repeated aspiration can be performed on larger cysts in polycystic liver disease. If the patient is in good overall condition and liver function is normal, fenestration for drainage can also be performed to alleviate symptoms and promote liver cell regeneration. If conditions permit, liver transplantation can be implemented to completely cure this disease.
