Dr. Shen Yonghua
The cause of hepatic pain in cirrhosis is localized liver tissue damage and impaired metabolism. In addition, patients may experience adverse effects such as decreased appetite, generalized fatigue, or diarrhea. Clinically, under the guidance of a qualified physician, oral antiviral medications—such as sofosbuvir and daclatasvir—may be prescribed for treatment; surgical intervention may be necessary in certain cases.
