Treatment For The Liver Cirrhosis
It is a chronic liver damage
caused from a variety of scarring and liver failure. Liver cirrhosis is common
amongst hepatitis patients and chronic alcohol abusers. Cirrhosis damages can't
be undone, but the further damage can be controlled. In early- stage, liver
cirrhosis does not show any specific symptoms. It can be detected through a
routine blood test or checkup.
Livercirrhosis treatment depends upon causes and level of damage done to the
liver. The treatment seeks to control or slow down the progression of scar
tissue in the liver and to further control the complication of cirrhosis. A
patient can also be hospitalized if damage seems severe.
The treatment includes minimizing
the damage to the liver by treating the underlying causes:-
1)
Treating alcohol
abuse
If a person has alcohol
consumption habit, doctors recommend a treatment program for alcohol addiction.
The person has to immediately stop drinking, to prevent further entering of
toxics to the liver.
2)
Weight loss
programs
Another reason for cirrhosis
is excess weight. Weight loss program help patient live a healthier life by
controlling their high blood sugar level. Nonalcoholic-fatter-life disease can
be cured by eating healthy and balanced dietary.
3)
Proper medications
Medications may limit damage
to the liver, caused by hepatitis B or C. Specific treatments are given to
control hepatitis viruses. Medications may help in slowing the progression of
certain types of liver cirrhosis.
For example: person with primary biliary
cirrhosis can be diagnosed through medications, if given at early stage.
Other benefits of medications include
relieving certain symptoms such as
·
Pain,
·
Fatigue,
·
Vomiting or Itching.
·
The nutritional supplement also helps in countering
malnutrition associated with cirrhosis and further prevents bone weakness
(osteoporosis).
Liver Cirrhosis
Treatment Also Include: -
·
Low sodium diets to prevent fluid buildup in a body for
controlling swelling.
·
Vaccination for hepatitis influenza and pneumonia to
prevent infection
·
Regular blood test and ultrasounds to check the sign
of liver cancer
·
Hepatitis encephalopathy to reduce the buildup of
toxic in the blood that is result of poor functioning of the liver
· If patient’s state is severe, Liver transplant is
recommended for the speedy recovery. After the transplant the patient needs to
be excessively careful with their daily chores which include lifelong
commitment to alcohol abstinence and healthy lifestyle.
Advance treatment includes:-
Advancement in science and treatment
has resulted in many potential avenues of approach that can expand current
treatments of cirrhosis. Some treatments
turned out to be beneficial such as:
·
Beta blockers or nitrates for portal hypertension
·
Hemodialysis that helps in purifying the blood of
those with kidney failure
Word of caution
All patient needs to be careful
with their medications. They should include adequate amount of exercising in their
daily routines to prevent or slow cirrhosis.
