What are the manifestations of cirrhosis? What should I do?

Cirrhosis generally causes flatulence and physical fatigue in patients' abdomen, accompanied by various symptoms such as abdominal hydrops and emaciation. Patients with liver pain and nausea are not necessarily caused by cirrhosis, but may also be caused by hepatitis or slight liver injury. They can go to the hospital for liver function examination, take antibiotics and liver-protecting drugs when inflammation and infection occur, and liver cirrhosis can be treated with diuretics and kidney-protecting drugs under the guidance of doctors.

Cirrhosis includes compensatory cirrhosis and decompensated cirrhosis. Compensatory cirrhosis means that the functional activities of the liver can provide normal life activities for the human body, and generally there are no obvious clinical symptoms. Because the liver is a "silent organ", the early symptoms of hepatitis and cirrhosis are not obvious. If there are symptoms, they often show symptoms of the digestive tract, such as loss of appetite, and some people show fatigue. The symptoms are not obvious. If it is decompensated cirrhosis, ascites due to cirrhosis, gastrointestinal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy or abdominal infection may occur clinically. There may be different symptoms in clinic.

At present, there is no specific medicine, so it is not appropriate to abuse drugs, otherwise it will increase the burden on the liver and backfire.

1, supplement various vitamins.

Vitamins C, E and B can improve the metabolism of hepatocytes, prevent fatty degeneration and protect hepatocytes. You can also take yeast tablets. Vitamin k, B 12 and folic acid should be supplemented as appropriate.

2. Drugs to protect liver cells

Such as Gantaile, vitamin C, Ganning, Yiganling (Silymarin Tablets), inosine, etc. Vitamin C, B6, potassium chloride and soluble insulin are added into 10% glucose solution.

3. Traditional Chinese medicine

Traditional Chinese medicine has a unique view on the diagnosis and treatment of chronic liver disease, and the combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine can often get better results. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that liver cirrhosis is caused by damp-heat affecting the spleen and stomach, which leads to poor blood circulation, blocked veins, accumulation or symptoms, and later water stagnation. Syndrome differentiation mostly belongs to liver depression, spleen deficiency or hydrops and abdominal distension. The former can be Chaihu Shugan Decoction (powder) and Guanfu Decoction. The latter can be Wuling powder or Wupi drink.

The cause of liver cirrhosis is complex, the most common is viral hepatitis, and the incidence of viral hepatitis is high in China. Therefore, it is extremely important to prevent viral hepatitis. Pay attention to hygiene, strictly disinfect instruments, strictly screen blood donors, and take preventive injections of hepatitis vaccine. Also pay attention to moderate drinking, reasonable nutrition and avoid using drugs that damage the liver. Appropriate protective measures should be given to patients with liver cirrhosis, such as reducing labor intensity, preventing complications, maintaining health and prolonging life.

Liver cirrhosis often dies of complications. Upper gastrointestinal bleeding is the most common complication of liver cirrhosis, and hepatic encephalopathy is the most common cause of death.
