Most of our cirrhosis patients are post-hepatitis cirrhosis, caused by chronic hepatitis B and chronic hepatitis C.

Therefore, post-hepatitis cirrhosis cases are generally contagious.

But cirrhosis caused by other causes is not infectious.

Some patients do not have an obvious history of chronic hepatitis, but they often have an insidious progression of chronic hepatitis. There are also cases of cirrhosis of unknown cause that ultimately rely on a liver puncture tissue biopsy to confirm the presence of the hepatitis B virus in the liver tissue. Hepatitis C is much more chronic, has an insidious progression, and is more likely to evolve into cirrhosis. Hepatitis cirrhosis infection and chronic hepatitis, mainly through the blood to spread, general contact,

such as *** things, meals, shaking hands, talking, etc., will not lead to hepatitis B or C infection. But blood transfusions, contamination of medical equipment and other forms can cause hepatitis virus infection. For the family of hepatitis B cirrhosis, should

Timely check the five indicators of hepatitis B virus, according to the situation timely injection of hepatitis B vaccine for immunoprophylaxis. Post-hepatitis cirrhosis patients hospitalized in the gastroenterology department of general hospitals should be relatively

isolated from patients with cirrhosis caused by other etiologies to avoid blood contact and contamination. Hepatitis cirrhosis patients should not be engaged in catering, early childhood education and other jobs. Living utensils in the home of patients with cirrhosis after hepatitis should be sterilized regularly.

Cirrhosis of the liver in the diet should pay attention to

1. drop of alcohol

As long as there is a liver disease, whether it is hepatitis, fatty liver, cirrhosis, liver cancer, the first thing you must stay away from is the "wine", because alcohol is mainly metabolized by the liver, and when the liver cells have been damaged, the metabolism of alcohol is extremely low, drinking alcohol can easily lead to deterioration of liver function.

2. Eat less greasy, fried, pickled, moldy food and food containing artificial coloring and artificial additives Patients with cirrhosis have poorer digestive ability because their bile excretion is insufficient, which affects the absorption of fatty foods and fat-soluble vitamins, so they have poorer digestive ability, therefore, it's best to eat less greasy, fried and fermented food and pickled products such as sausage and bacon. The principle of the liver and gallbladder in order to reduce the load of the liver and gallbladder.

3. Eat easy-to-digest protein food

Patients with cirrhosis should establish the correct concept in selecting food, can be less fat, but carbohydrate starch intake is indispensable, but not too much. Eating more easily digestible protein foods, such as deep-sea fish, low-fat milk, egg whites, tofu, etc. are good choices.

Cirrhosis patients also need to pay attention to observe whether there is hepatic coma, once there is hepatic coma must be taken to limit the intake of protein.

P.S. Hepatic coma: This is the phenomenon of hepatic coma in patients with liver cirrhosis at the end stage or liver failure, because the function of liver cells is seriously impaired, or due to portal hypertension, so that the portal blood can't go through the liver to enter the macrocirculation directly through the collateral circulation, and thus can't be processed in the liver cells, and the toxic substances or ammonia from the intestinal tubes, which will lead to the state of coma. At this time, the central nervous system due to functional damage, causing a variety of neurological symptoms, and finally will lose consciousness, awareness, and become comatose, when in the pre-coma or coma, close to the patient can often smell a sweet and sour taste, called "liver flavor" can also be used as a recognition.

4. In addition, to protect the liver, you must eat more detoxification function and choleretic vegetables such as cauliflower, collard greens, cabbage, peas, because they are the most rich in fiber, can be discharged from the body toxins; in addition, eat eggs, milk, cheese, wheat and other allergies easily caused by the food; must also control the intake of high-fat, high-sugar foods.

Part of the cirrhosis patients after Chinese and Western medicine treatment. The condition of the town was improved or slowed down the development. Generally speaking, the prognosis of cirrhosis after hepatitis is poor, and should be emphasized.

The diagnosis has been made in the period of liver function compensation, and get medical treatment, the prognosis is better. The prognosis is worse in the decompensated liver function period. Where ascites, jaundice, edema, fever or prothrombin time is highly prolonged, low blood sodium, plasma albumin (2.5g/d1, plasma protein electrophoresis γ-globulin > 30%, indicating that hepatic function has been damaged to a serious stage. If the hepatic and renal syndrome, hepatic encephalopathy, or complication of esophageal vein massive hemorrhage, severe infection, etc., the condition is critical, the prognosis is very poor.

With proper treatment and attention to diet, you can live a long time.

I hope you get well soon!
