Cirrhosis of the liver spitting up blood is not a very short life expectancy

Cirrhosis spitting blood does not necessarily mean that the life expectancy is very short. Cirrhotic patients with symptoms of vomiting blood are considered to have upper gastrointestinal bleeding caused by esophagogastric fundal varices, or combined with peptic ulcers and other diseases, which can present with symptoms of vomiting blood. Bleeding from ruptured esophagogastric varices can be treated with growth inhibitors, proton pump inhibitors, Hâ‚‚ receptor antagonists and other drugs or endoscopic ligation, and can also be treated with triple-lumen, two-bladder compression therapy to stop bleeding. Bleeding complicated by peptic ulcer can also be treated with acid-suppressing drugs such as pantoprazole, and endoscopic hemostasis is also available. If the bleeding is not treated in time, it is life-threatening if the bleeding is large, leading to a sharp drop in blood volume and thus shock, or susceptible to hepatic encephalopathy. Cirrhosis patients should actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment, slow down the deterioration of liver function and prevent complications, then the condition and liver function can be maintained stable. Patients with cirrhosis who have symptoms of vomiting blood should be immediately advised to go to the hospital for timely treatment.
