Health guide:
1. Active prevention: Liver cirrhosis is the result of gradual degeneration of liver parenchyma caused by different reasons.
We should pay attention to the prevention and treatment of various primary diseases, actively prevent and treat chronic hepatitis, schistosomiasis and gastrointestinal infections, avoid contact with and application of substances toxic to the liver, and reduce pathogenic factors.
2. Emotional stability: The liver is closely related to spirit and emotion. Bad mood, depression and anger will all affect the function of the liver and accelerate the development of the disease. Establishing a strong will, cheerful mood, uplifting spirit and eliminating ideological burden will be beneficial to the improvement of the disease.
3. Dynamic and static combination: the compensatory function of liver cirrhosis is decreased, and patients with ascites or infection must stay in bed. During the period of fully compensatory function and stable illness, you can do some relaxing work or appropriate activities and carry out beneficial physical exercise, such as walking, doing exercises, Tai Ji Chuan, Qigong, etc. The amount of activity is that you don't feel tired.
4. Simple medication: blind abuse of general drugs will increase the burden on the liver, which is not conducive to liver recovery. Drugs harmful to the liver, such as isoniazid and barbiturates, should be used with caution or have contraindications.
5. Quit smoking and avoid alcohol: Alcohol can help fire and replenish blood, and long-term drinking, especially hard liquor, can lead to alcoholic cirrhosis. Therefore, drinking alcohol will aggravate the condition of patients with liver cirrhosis and easily cause bleeding. Long-term smoking is not conducive to the stability and recovery of liver disease, can accelerate the process of liver cirrhosis, and has the risk of promoting liver cancer.
6. Diet care: A diet with low fat, high protein, high vitamins and easy digestion is appropriate. Be regular, quantitative and temperate. In the early stage, you can eat more soy products, fruits and fresh vegetables, and eat sugar, eggs, fish and lean meat appropriately; When the liver function drops obviously and there are signs of hepatic coma, the intake of protein should be properly controlled, and a low-salt diet or a salt-free diet should be advocated. The daily intake of salt should not exceed 1 ~ 1.5g, and the drinking water should be within 2000ml. In severe ascites, the intake of salt should be controlled within 500mg, and the intake of water should be within 1000ml. Avoid spicy and irritating items and hard and cold food, and don't eat overheated food to prevent bleeding.
Cirrhosis is a chronic progressive liver disease, which is caused by many factors that damage the liver, such as chronic active hepatitis and long-term alcoholism. Mainly manifested as loss of appetite, fatigue, gingival bleeding, liver palm, spider nevus, jaundice, low albumin, splenomegaly, abdominal varicose veins, esophageal and gastric varices, ascites and so on. Serious complications such as gastrointestinal bleeding, hepatic coma and secondary infection often occur in the late stage. Patients with liver cirrhosis are also high-risk targets of primary liver cancer, and regular examination should be paid attention to.
Liver cirrhosis can be treated with Chinese and western medicine, which has a certain effect.
