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 a nearby hospital for a check-up and was told it was liver disease. They advised me to get an injection. Could you please tell me what the methods are for alleviating hepatic encephalopathy twice?Doctor's answer:
Hepatic coma requires timely symptomatic treatment if it occurs. Hepatic encephalopathy can be triggered by electrolyte disorders, such as hyponatremia or hypokalemic hypochloremic acidosis, leading to metabolic alkalosis, which may result in hepatic encephalopathy. Active treatment is necessary, as it can be life-threatening. Pay attention to active comprehensive prevention and treatment, including controlling bleeding, preventing infection, correcting electrolyte and acid-base imbalances, discontinuing hepatotoxic drugs, and strictly prohibiting large-volume paracentesis. Minimize ammonia production and enhance oxygen utilization metabolism.
