Liver insufficiency indicates that the patient’s liver function is abnormal, which may be caused by chemical poisoning, bile duct obstruction, hepatitis and so on.
Patients with liver insufficiency may have symptoms such as jaundice, loss of appetite, nausea, etc. Depending on the cause of the disease, the patient may be treated with medication or surgery as prescribed by the doctor. The prognosis is usually better if treatment is timely.
Hepatic insufficiency indicates that the liver cells of the patient have been seriously damaged, resulting in the destruction of the morphology and structure of the liver, which leads to serious obstacles to the secretion, synthesis, metabolism and other functions of the liver. Hepatitis B, C and other diseases or chemical poisoning or bile duct obstruction may cause liver insufficiency, resulting in jaundice, loss of appetite, nausea, bleeding gums and other symptoms.
The treatment and its prognosis are different depending on the cause of the disease. For example, if liver insufficiency is induced by hepatitis B, patients can take antiviral drugs such as entecavir and tenofovir orally in the early stage of the virus, and the prognosis is usually better. If liver insufficiency is caused by liver cancer, surgery, chemotherapy and other treatments are needed, and the prognosis is worse in the middle and late stages.
It is recommended that patients with liver insufficiency should go to the hospital as soon as possible for relevant examinations, so as to identify the cause of the disease and have it detected and treated as early as possible.
