How long can you live with cirrhosis of the liver and stomach bleeding

If the amount of bleeding is small, it may not affect the life, if the amount of bleeding is large, it may die at the onset of the disease or at the time of recurrence, which seriously affects the patient’s life expectancy. The occurrence of gastric hemorrhage in cirrhosis indicates that cirrhosis is already in the decompensated stage, and the cause of gastric hemorrhage is mainly the bleeding of esophagogastric fundal varices due to portal hypertension, which is complicated by gastric hemorrhage at the same time. If the amount of bleeding is small or the treatment is timely, it may not affect the life. If the amount of bleeding is large, it may cause severe complications such as portal hypertensive gastroenteropathy, peritonitis, hemorrhagic shock, and even direct circulatory failure and death. In addition, due to the existence of cirrhosis, even after the current variceal sclerotherapy or variceal rupture and bleeding ligation treatment, without controlling the primary disease, there is a risk of bleeding again and causing death. It is recommended that if gastric bleeding occurs in cirrhosis, it should be treated immediately.
