Dr. Shen Yonghua
Metabolic alkalosis in patients with cirrhosis results from either inadequate nutritional intake or excessive administration of alkaline substances, leading to alkali intoxication. Once alkali intoxication occurs, it is recommended to promptly visit a reputable local medical institution for relevant examinations to identify the underlying cause, followed by timely, professional treatment under the guidance of a qualified physician—thereby preventing adverse effects on overall health.
