Hepatic fibrosis is a pathological term, which refers to liver injury caused by various injury factors, resulting in hepatocyte edema, degeneration, necrosis and fibrous tissue proliferation. Hepatic fibrosis is a scar repair reaction after liver injury, just like the scar repair process of other human tissues, such as skin injury. Now clinically, we also take it as a disease diagnosis. Liver fibrosis is a process from a variety of chronic liver diseases to liver cirrhosis.
If the cause of liver injury is not removed in time, long-term repeated liver injury will lead to scar accumulation, destroy the normal structure and function of the liver, and finally develop into liver cirrhosis. Patients with chronic liver disease have a long time and poor disease control, such as viral hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, fatty liver, autoimmune hepatitis, long-term heavy drinking, excessive obesity, or taking drugs that can cause liver injury. These people are more prone to liver fibrosis in the process of long-term liver injury and repair. At present, liver fibrosis caused by viral hepatitis, especially hepatitis B, is the most common in China.
Liver fibrosis can be treated as follows:
1. Etiological treatment. For many liver diseases that can solve the etiology, if they are not treated according to the etiology, they will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Of course, some etiologies can not cure the root cause, and there is no way to solve them at present. But for a permanent cure, we must cure this disease, such as chronic chronic HBV infection, liver fibrosis caused by chronic hepatitis B, and antiviral is essential. The same is true for liver fibrosis or cirrhosis caused by chronic hepatitis C. antiviral treatment is the fundamental measure; This is especially true for alcoholic liver disease. Abstinence is a necessary and primary condition. If you can't stop drinking, alcoholic liver disease will continue to progress, or even progress rapidly; In addition, for autoimmune liver disease, immunosuppressive treatment will be made according to the etiology, such as the use of hormones or immunosuppressants.
2. Antifibrotic therapy, or more commonly referred to as soft liver therapy. There is no anti fibrosis drug in western medicine. In this regard, the Anluo Huaxian pill in the traditional Chinese medicine dredging chemical fiber method developed by Handan Institute of liver diseases has a significant effect. Anluo Hua Xian Wan has been involved in two major projects of Chinese medicine and Western medicine in 12th Five-Year and 13th Five-Year. It has been proved by western medicine that Anluo Hua Xian Wan combined with entecavir can significantly improve the rate and stability of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B.
