How is liver cirrhosis formed

summary

In my uncle's daily life, due to long-term drinking, liver cirrhosis often occurs. After several times of treatment in the hospital, his condition has gradually improved. At the beginning, we also consulted the doctor about the causes of liver cirrhosis.

How is liver cirrhosis formed

First, viral hepatitis, especially chronic hepatitis B, is the main cause of portal cirrhosis. Long term heavy drinking is one of the causes of liver cirrhosis.

The second reason: long-term or repeated exposure to arsenic containing insecticides, carbon tetrachloride, yellow phosphorus, chloroform, etc., or long-term use of certain drugs such as diacetaphene, isoniazid, cinchofen, tetracycline, methyldopa, can produce toxic or drug-induced hepatitis, leading to liver cirrhosis.

Cause 3: Aflatoxin can also cause toxic damage to liver cells, causing cirrhosis. Chronic congestive heart failure and chronic constrictive pericarditis can cause long-term congestion and hypoxia in the liver, causing hepatocyte necrosis and fibrosis, which is also called congestive cirrhosis, also known as cardiogenic cirrhosis.

matters needing attention

The formation of liver cirrhosis is not only related to the malnutrition of patients, but also related to the metabolic disorders of patients themselves. Therefore, in order to reduce the occurrence of liver cirrhosis, we should strengthen the physical exercise at ordinary times.
