Treatment and Maintenance of Liver Cirrhosis

The treatment methods for liver cirrhosis primarily encompass general therapy, pharmacotherapy, and surgical intervention. Patients should choose an appropriate treatment based on their individual condition. Additionally, attention should be paid to dietary adjustments and lifestyle modifications in daily life.

Treatment:

1. General Therapy:

   For patients with early-stage or mild liver cirrhosis, who typically exhibit no significant symptoms, no specific treatment is required initially. Regular follow-ups are sufficient.

2. Pharmacotherapy:

   In case of complications such as ascites, diuretics like Furosemide Tablets should be prescribed to alleviate edema, accompanied by Spironolactone Tablets to regulate sodium and potassium balance in the body. Antiviral medications, such as Entecavir Dispersible Tablets and Tenofovir Alafenamide Fumarate Tablets, are administered to control hepatitis B virus infection. Furthermore, Polyene Phosphatidylcholine Capsules can be used to protect liver cells and improve liver function.

3. Surgical Intervention:

   When esophageal variceal bleeding occurs, interventional embolization should be promptly performed to stop the bleeding. For patients with splenomegaly accompanied by recurrent infections, splenectomy is recommended to alleviate discomfort.

Maintenance:

1. Quit Smoking and Alcohol:

   Alcohol is highly detrimental to the liver, therefore, strict abstinence is crucial to prevent aggravating liver burden and disease progression.

2. Balanced Diet:

   Adopt a low-salt, high-protein diet, avoiding excessively salty foods to reduce kidney metabolic load. Appropriately supplement Vitamin B group nutrients to facilitate digestion and absorption, but limit the intake of high-sugar fruits and vegetables to prevent diabetes.

3. Moderate Exercise:

   Engage in regular exercise tailored to individual fitness levels to strengthen the body and boost immunity, thereby reducing the risk of infections from various pathogens.
