Dr. Shen Yonghua
Symptoms of hepatitis B–induced cirrhosis include mild fatigue, nausea, decreased appetite, abdominal distension, poor food intake, and pain in the chest or rib cage. Hepatitis B–related cirrhosis can be treated under a physician’s guidance with antiviral medications—such as entecavir—as well as antifibrotic agents, including Fufang Biejia Ruangan Pian (Compound Softshell Turtle Shell Tablets for Liver Fibrosis).
