Treatment of cirrhosis includes protection or improvement of liver function, treatment of portal hypertension and its complications, and prevention and treatment of hepatic encephalopathy. The main ways to protect and improve liver function include removing or alleviating the cause of the disease, carefully using drugs that damage the liver, maintaining enteral nutrition and protecting hepatocytes. Treatment options for portal hypertension and its complications include limiting sodium intake, diuresis, and transjugular intrahepatic portacaval shunt, etc. If infection occurs, antibiotics against gram-negative bacteria should be used with a balance of positive bacteria. Treatment of hepatic encephalopathy focuses on early recognition and removal of seizure triggers, nutritional supportive therapy, promotion of ammonia metabolism and modulation of neurotransmitters. If the diagnosis of cirrhosis is confirmed, it is recommended to consult the doctor in time and treat under the doctor’s guidance, and not to take medication without authorization. Patients should pay attention to rest on weekdays, quit smoking and drinking, maintain good personal hygiene and avoid catching cold.
