The progression of chronic liver failure is closely related to an individual's health status and treatment approach, with survival time varying significantly due to individual differences. Patient survival is influenced by multiple factors, such as the degree of liver function impairment, the presence or absence of complications, and the timeliness and effectiveness of treatment. Chronic liver failure often manifests as prolonged liver insufficiency, eventually leading to severe conditions like cirrhosis and hepatic encephalopathy. Early interventional treatment for this condition can effectively extend a patient's survival period. When symptoms such as altered mental status and worsening jaundice appear, immediate medical attention is required. The causes of chronic liver failure are diverse, including genetic factors, environmental pollution, and poor lifestyle habits. Genetically, certain inherited diseases may lead to abnormal liver function. External factors, such as excessive alcohol consumption and chronic viral hepatitis (e.g., hepatitis B, hepatitis C), are often the primary causes of chronic liver failure. Metabolic syndromes such as obesity and diabetes are common physiological factors. When the liver is continuously exposed to these factors over time, hepatocytes gradually necrosis, leading to liver dysfunction. For patients, early vital sign monitoring and lifestyle improvements, such as abstaining from alcohol, controlling weight, and maintaining a reasonable diet, can significantly alleviate the condition.

In terms of treatment, drugs like lactulose and rifaximin can reduce ammonia levels and alleviate symptoms, while liver-protecting medications such as glycyrrhizinate preparations and Yiganling can assist in liver function recovery. For severe cases, liver transplantation may be considered, and many patients have improved their quality of life through transplantation. In terms of dietary management, reducing high-fat and high-sugar intake and increasing the intake of protein and antioxidant-rich foods such as beans, fish, and nuts, as well as consuming adequate vitamins and minerals, can aid liver recovery. Patients with chronic liver failure need regular follow-up examinations to monitor disease progression and actively seek treatment and management as per medical advice to improve their quality of life and extend their survival time.
