When liver and gallbladder functions are impaired, comprehensive management should be implemented according to the underlying cause and severity of the condition.
1. Treat the underlying cause—for example, antiviral therapy is required for hepatitis, while non-alcoholic fatty liver disease necessitates dietary adjustments and increased physical activity.
2. Pharmacological treatment is also an important approach, such as using hepatoprotective drugs to reduce transaminase levels and alleviate liver inflammation, or administering antiviral medications to control viral hepatitis.
3. Lifestyle modifications are equally crucial, including quitting smoking, limiting alcohol consumption, avoiding high-fat foods, and maintaining a regular sleep schedule, all of which help reduce the burden on the liver.
4. Regular monitoring of liver function is essential to detect changes in the condition promptly and adjust the treatment plan accordingly.
Managing liver and gallbladder dysfunction requires a comprehensive approach combining etiological treatment, pharmacotherapy, and lifestyle adjustments to ensure liver health.
