The survival time of advanced cirrhosis is closely related to whether the patient has serious complications or not, and cannot be generalized. Advanced cirrhosis is the stage of liver loss of compensation, at this time the liver function is not enough to meet the needs of the human body, and is prone to complications. If gastrointestinal bleeding occurs, hemorrhagic shock can occur quickly, endangering the patient’s life. If ascites occurs, the patient needs timely protein supplementation and diuresis, and if the ascites subsides, the patient’s life span is usually not affected. If hepatic encephalopathy, hepatic coma and serious complications of advanced cirrhosis occur, with the gradual development of the disease, patients can die in a short period of time. Advanced cirrhosis needs to strengthen rest, pay attention to vitamin supplementation and low-salt diet, and eat high-quality protein such as lean meat, fish and chicken. In addition, patients with hepatic encephalopathy should limit protein intake; patients with gastrointestinal bleeding should avoid eating stimulating and hard food, and focus on fluid and semi-fluid food.
