What do you need to pay attention to during the compensatory period of liver cirrhosis, especially in terms of diet?
At this time, you should pay attention to the fact that liver cirrhosis belongs to the category of "accumulation of liver", "accumulation" and "lump" in traditional Chinese medicine, and the pathological changes are complicated. The initial disease is in the liver and spleen, and the disease reaches the kidney for a long time. Blood stasis blocks collaterals, and water dampness stops inside, leading to abdominal distension. Among them, spleen deficiency and phlegm stasis blocking collaterals are the key pathogenesis of this disease, and the treatment is mainly based on invigorating qi and spleen, promoting blood circulation and dredging collaterals, resolving phlegm and softening hard mass. Treatment of liver cirrhosis, we must pay attention to life and diet, pay attention to eat less and eat more meals. The digestive ability of patients with liver cirrhosis is reduced to avoid liver overload. We should eat less and eat more meals, especially when ascites occurs, so as not to increase the feeling of fullness and discomfort. For patients with normal liver function, a diet with high quality protein, high vitamins and low fat can be considered. Eggs, milk, lean meat, fresh vegetables and soft fruits (such as bananas, mangoes and kiwis) are all good choices. However, for patients with obviously abnormal liver function, protein should be controlled, because a high-protein diet can induce hepatic coma. At this time, the diet should be light, such as steamed bread, noodles, porridge, fresh vegetables, etc., and the stool must be kept smooth. Treatment of liver cirrhosis should also pay attention to symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to limit the intake of water and sodium, and increase the discharge of water and sodium. Improve colloid osmotic pressure of plasma: Intravenous infusion of fresh blood, plasma or albumin at regular intervals, small amount and many times every week is of great help to improve the general condition of the body, restore liver function, improve the colloid osmotic pressure of plasma and promote the regression of ascites. Concentrated reinfusion of ascites will lose electrolyte and protein, which is easy to induce electrolyte disorder and hepatic coma. Ascites can recur quickly, and ascites release is generally not used for treatment.
