What happens if you don’t treat your tertiary infection?

If the liver function is normal, liver ultrasound and fibrosis scan are normal, it is not a big problem to leave it untreated at present, and regular retesting is enough. If liver function is already abnormal at this time, without timely anti-inflammatory treatment, inflammation over time will stimulate the proliferation of fibrous tissue in the liver, and gradually to the development of hepatic fibrosis, the degree of fibrous tissue hyperplasia more and more serious easily caused by cirrhosis of the liver. In addition, if a person with cirrhosis does not receive treatment, he will progress to decompensated cirrhosis, which is likely to be complicated by complications such as hepatic ascites, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, hepatorenal syndrome, and so on, which will seriously affect the quality of life and shorten the life expectancy. If cirrhosis is left untreated, it is also likely to develop into liver cancer over time.
