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's a liver disease. They advised me to get an injection. Is hepatic coma painful?Doctor's answer:
After hepatic coma, the patient is in a state of coma, so they are basically unable to feel pain. Hepatic coma is a late manifestation of liver disease that requires active relief. If relief is not timely, it may potentially be life-threatening. Acetylcysteine and glutamine can alleviate the condition of excessively high blood ammonia levels in the body. Additionally, artificial liver therapy and the removal of triggers can also help alleviate the condition. For example, if there is hepatitis B, active relief of hepatitis B is necessary.
