The survival of patients with cirrhosis is related to the severity of the disease and treatment, and cannot be generalized. Cirrhosis is a common chronic liver disease that presents with mild liver function abnormalities in its early stages, which are generally not easily detected and do not affect the patient’s life expectancy at this time. When entering the decompensated stage of liver failure, patients may experience diarrhea, gastrointestinal bleeding, loss of appetite and other symptoms. If patients with liver cirrhosis are actively treated in the compensated stage, they can basically control the continuous development of cirrhosis and can obtain a longer survival period, but if timely treatment is not carried out, the survival period of patients generally does not exceed 5 years. Patients with cirrhosis must go to the liver disease department of a regular hospital to receive treatment in a timely manner. During the treatment period, they should pay attention to rest, maintain an optimistic attitude, avoid staying up late or overworking, and eat more food rich in protein and vitamins to increase their immunity.
