Is a liver hardness of 14 advanced?

Liver stiffness of 14kPa is not advanced. The normal value of liver hardness is 2.8-7.4kPa, and the clinical opinion is that liver hardness more than 12.5kPa is considered early cirrhosis. Cirrhosis refers to the diffuse proliferation of liver fibrous tissue in the presence of extensive necrosis of liver cells, which destroys the normal structure of the liver, and the main cause of the disease at present is hepatitis B virus infection. Early cirrhosis patients usually have no obvious symptoms, a small number of patients will have diarrhea, fatigue and other symptoms, need to receive timely treatment. Antiviral drugs are often taken to reverse liver fibrosis, such as Tenofovir Fumarate Tablets, Entecavir Tablets, etc. Currently, the most effective treatment is liver transplantation. All of the above medications should be used under doctor’s guidance, avoid self-medication. Although liver hardness of 14kPa does not belong to the advanced stage of cirrhosis, it belongs to the early stage of cirrhosis, and it is recommended to go to the hospital in time for early and regular treatment.
