A 43-year-old patient with cirrhosis who is in the compensated phase can survive for several years to decades with scientific clinical treatment, whereas patients with decompensated cirrhosis rarely survive for 30 years.
Cirrhosis is a chronic progressive liver disease with reduced liver function, and the process can be divided into compensated and decompensated phases. For patients with mild compensated cirrhosis, liver function can be slowed down by protecting and improving liver function, and it is possible to survive for 30 years if the disease is well controlled. For patients in the decompensated stage, if symptoms such as cirrhosis ascites and jaundice appear, there is little hope of surviving for 30 years.
For those who have already developed cirrhosis, they need to actively undergo medical or surgical treatment to slow down the development of the disease or to relieve the pain, and they should actively cooperate with their doctors in order to prolong their lives.
