What is cirrhosis

summary

But we'd better not take medicine in disorder. People who often take medicine in disorder will cause certain damage to the liver. After a long time, it will cause liver failure or cirrhosis. One of my colleagues is a patient with cirrhosis. Let me tell you what cirrhosis is!

What is cirrhosis

First, cirrhosis is a common clinical chronic progressive liver disease, which is a diffuse liver damage caused by one or more causes. In our country, most of them are posthepatitic cirrhosis, and a few of them are alcoholic cirrhosis and schistosomiasis cirrhosis.

Second, histopathologically, there are extensive hepatocyte necrosis, nodular regeneration of residual hepatocytes, connective tissue hyperplasia and fibrous septum formation, which lead to the destruction of hepatic lobule structure and the formation of pseudo lobule, and the liver gradually deforms and hardens and develops into cirrhosis.

Third: in the early stage, due to the strong compensatory function of the liver, there may be no obvious symptoms. In the later stage, liver function damage and portal hypertension are the main manifestations, and multiple systems are involved. In the late stage, there are often upper gastrointestinal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, secondary infection, hypersplenism, ascites, canceration and other complications, which are very harmful to the body.

matters needing attention

Malnutrition can reduce the resistance of liver cells to toxic and infectious factors, and become an indirect cause of liver cirrhosis. Therefore, we should pay attention to the balanced nutrition in diet, which can prevent liver diseases.
