Cirrhosis is a common chronic progressive liver disease in clinic. It is a long-term and repeated effect of one or more etiologies, forming diffuse liver injury. In China, most of them are post hepatitis cirrhosis, a few are alcoholic cirrhosis and schistosomiasis cirrhosis, as well as autoimmune hepatitis. For example, AIH is called autoimmune hepatitis; There are also PBC, PSC and other primary biliary cholangitis or primary sclerosing cholangitis, which will develop into liver cirrhosis if they are not controlled timely and effectively. Histopathologically, there are extensive hepatocyte necrosis, nodular regeneration of residual hepatocytes, proliferation of connective tissue and formation of fibrous septum, resulting in structural destruction of liver nodules and formation of pseudolobules. The liver gradually deforms and hardens and develops into liver cirrhosis.
The first step in the treatment of liver cirrhosis is to clarify the primary cause. For different causes, different treatment methods can be adopted. For example:
Hepatitis B or hepatitis C virus infection: antiviral treatment is fundamental.
Cirrhosis caused by alcoholic liver disease: quit drinking immediately.
Drug induced liver cirrhosis: in addition to stopping drugs, add liver protecting and enzyme reducing drugs.
Fatty liver chronic hepatitis: first, change the lifestyle, adjust the diet structure, increase the amount of exercise, control the weight, and add lipid-lowering drugs when necessary.
Autoimmune hepatitis: select immunosuppressants for treatment under the guidance of specialists. It can effectively delay the progress of liver cirrhosis, reduce the mortality and improve the quality of life of patients.
Liver cirrhosis is divided into compensatory stage and decompensated stage. In addition to the treatment for the cause of liver cirrhosis in the compensatory period, it can get twice the result with half the effort with traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine dredging chemical fiber method in the treatment of liver cirrhosis can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, soothe the liver and regulate qi and strengthen the spleen. It can gradually stop the development of liver cirrhosis and even reverse liver cirrhosis. It has the effects of protecting the liver, reducing enzymes, eliminating jaundice and resisting liver fibrosis.
Decompensated liver cirrhosis mainly focuses on the prevention and treatment of complications. According to the specific clinical manifestations, the traditional Chinese medicine dredging chemical fiber method developed by Handan Institute of liver disease has obvious effect in the treatment of decompensated liver cirrhosis. The series of traditional Chinese medicine dredging chemical fiber method are used in combination to treat liver cirrhosis without toxic and side effects. Monarchs and ministers are adjuvants. The effects are coordinated and hit the pathogenesis, It plays a significant role in the treatment of liver cirrhosis.
