Cirrhosis is a chronic liver injury due to multiple etiologies, and it is mainly characterized by chronic liver disease, diffuse fibrosis of the liver, pseudobulbar formation and the appearance of regenerative nodules. Generally the development to the stage of cirrhosis cannot be reversed, that is, it cannot be completely cured, and western medicine can only be used for the treatment of complications. Chinese herbs have certain curative effect on cirrhosis, many of them have the effect of softening and dispersing the nodules, and if made into compound preparations, they have good curative effect on cirrhosis, but in the process of taking Chinese herbs one must pay attention to the regular review of liver function to avoid the failure of liver function. Each person in itself has different efficacy on liver herbs, and there are clear individual differences. Some patients have liver failure and small hepatic vein occlusive disease in the process of taking herbs, which can aggravate cirrhosis, and there are patients who can keep their condition stable in the process of taking herbs.
