Causes of Liver Cirrhosis:
Chronic alcohol abuse
Hepatitis B or C infection
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
Genetic disorders
Autoimmune diseases
Lifestyle and Dietary Changes
Medications and Medical Management
Minimally Invasive Procedures for Complications
Liver Transplantation
Alcohol Cessation: If cirrhosis is caused by alcohol, quitting drinking is crucial to prevent further liver damage.
Healthy Diet: A balanced diet rich in proteins, vitamins, and low in salt helps support liver function.
Weight Management: Losing excess weight can help in cases of cirrhosis due to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Exercise: Regular physical activity improves overall health and reduces fat accumulation in the liver.
Antiviral Drugs: Used to treat hepatitis B or C infections that cause cirrhosis.
Diuretics: Help reduce fluid buildup (ascites) by removing excess salt and water.
Beta-Blockers: Lower blood pressure in the portal vein, reducing the risk of variceal bleeding.
Lactulose and Rifaximin: Used to manage hepatic encephalopathy by reducing toxin buildup in the blood.
Endoscopic Variceal Ligation (EVL): A procedure to stop bleeding from esophageal varices.
Paracentesis: Removal of excess abdominal fluid (ascites) using a needle.
Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS): A procedure that creates a bypass in the liver to reduce portal hypertension.
The only curative treatment for end-stage cirrhosis.
Recommended for patients with severe liver failure or complications unmanageable by other treatments.
Before the Procedure:
Consult a specialist for a complete evaluation.
Stop alcohol consumption and follow dietary guidelines.
Monitor liver function through regular blood tests.
During the Procedure:
The treatment may include medications, lifestyle changes, or, in some cases, a liver transplant.
Duration varies depending on the severity and type of treatment.
Performed by an expert hepatologist specializing in liver diseases.
After the Procedure:
Follow post-care instructions regarding medications and lifestyle.
Regular monitoring of liver function is essential.
Recovery time can vary, depending on the type of treatment.
Yes, Liver Cirrhosis treatment is safe when performed by experienced specialists, using appropriate treatment protocols.
The duration of treatment varies based on the severity of cirrhosis and the chosen treatment method.
Liver Cirrhosis treatment is generally not painful, but some procedures may cause mild discomfort during recovery.
Most patients can return to work after the recovery period, depending on the treatment and their general health condition.
Side effects may occur depending on the type of treatment, such as medication side effects or complications from a liver transplant.
