How is cirrhosis treated?

Cirrhosis is a serious chronic liver disease, and its treatment options include: 1. Supportive therapy: Intravenous administration of hypertonic glucose solution to supplement calories. Vitamins such as vitamin C and insulin may be added to the fluids to maintain water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance. 2. Hepatoprotective symptomatic treatment: During the active phase of hepatitis, treatments aimed at protecting liver function, reducing enzyme levels, and alleviating jaundice may be administered. 3. Antiviral therapy: For cirrhosis caused by hepatitis B, antiviral treatment can be performed using interferon or nucleoside (acid) analogs. 4. Liver transplantation: For patients with advanced cirrhosis and severe liver failure, liver transplantation is an effective treatment option. In addition, patients should ensure adequate rest and avoid excessive fatigue. Dietary recommendations include choosing low-salt and low-fat foods while avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
