1) Cirrhosis is another stage in the development of hepatitis and is a common disease in our country in gastroenterology outpatient clinics and wards. (2) There are many causes of liver cirrhosis, mainly due to viral hepatitis in China, such as hepatitis B and C. With the improvement of people’s living standard and the change of diet structure, the incidence of alcoholic hepatitis and fatty liver has increased significantly in the past 10 years, and the number of patients with cirrhosis caused by this has also increased in the gastroenterology outpatient clinics nowadays. Modernization brings people material enjoyment but also brings changes in our living environment. Autoimmune liver disease, drug-related liver damage, biliary stasis, and long-term damage to the liver caused by nutritional factors are also increasing the production of cirrhosis. 3) The onset and progression of cirrhosis are generally slow, mostly found 10-30 years after hepatitis, due to the fact that even though the liver itself has lesions in most of the tissues, as long as a few parts are able to work, few symptoms are clinically manifested, which is medically called functional compensation. Functional compensation can sometimes make early diagnosis more difficult. This is why many people still do not care after hepatitis or liver disease, and some still drink a lot of alcohol or engage in strenuous physical activity, and only come to the clinic one day when they have gastrointestinal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, secondary infections, hypersplenism, liver ascites or cancerous complications, which in fact are already in what is medically known as the decompensated phase of liver function. This is one reason why cirrhosis occurs quickly in some people after hepatitis. (4) Diagnosis of cirrhosis in the decompensated stage is relatively easy and the symptoms are very obvious. For hepatitis B or C that persists, long-term alcohol abuse, and unexplained hepatomegaly, liver function and ultrasound should be checked repeatedly, and liver puncture biopsy should be done if necessary. The main diagnostic bases are: 1, there is viral hepatitis, long-term alcohol abuse, schistosomiasis or other causes of liver cirrhosis. 2, there are clinical manifestations of liver function decompensation. 3, early hepatomegaly and hard texture. 4.Have clinical manifestations of portal hypertension. 5.Liver function test has abnormal changes. 6.B ultrasound or CT examination is consistent with the image of cirrhosis. 7.Hepatic biopsy with pseudo lobules. 5）Liver biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing cirrhosis, and because it is an invasive test, it is sometimes difficult to be accepted by patients in clinical practice. Medical scientists have been working to discover some serological indicators for early detection of cirrhosis. Type III procollagen peptide, type III procollagen, type IV collagen, laminin, hyaluronic acid, matrix metalloproteinase and its tissue inhibitor pro, aminopeptidase and transforming growth factor β1 have provided useful references for the detection of liver fibrosis in the early stages of cirrhosis. The new diagnostic instrument for liver fibrosis, Fibscan, may provide a more valuable reference for the early detection of cirrhosis. 6) The ideal outcome of cirrhosis should be to soften the sclerotic liver, however, there is no effective way to do this so far. However, medical research in recent years has found that antiviral treatment for viral hepatitis has played a positive role in delaying the onset of cirrhosis and reducing the incidence of liver cancer. Foreign scholars have found that nucleoside (class) drugs used for viral hepatitis cirrhosis can improve the sclerotic liver tissue, suggesting that cirrhosis may also be reversible, which undoubtedly brings new hope for patients with hepatitis cirrhosis. (7) The maturity of ascites transfusion technology and the widespread clinical application have improved the quality of life of cirrhotic patients, artificial liver as a means of treatment for chronic heavy liver disease has gained time for liver transplantation and further treatment of patients, and the future stem cell artificial liver may enable cirrhotic patients to gain a new normal life.
