Liver fibrosis can be reversed

  It is difficult to separate liver fibrosis and cirrhosis clinically, because liver fibrosis is a pre-cirrhotic lesion, while cirrhosis is the result of further development of liver fibrosis, and chronic liver disease is a continuous process from liver fibrosis to cirrhosis. According to international standards, the pathological degree of liver fibrosis is divided into 4 stages (S1-S4), with S1 being the mildest and S4 the most severe.  According to the basic and clinical studies this year, liver fibrosis that has developed can be reversed if effective treatment is taken. But the treatment of liver fibrosis must be early, S1, S2 stage, the best treatment effect, can reverse liver fibrosis, so that the structure of the diseased liver tissue back to normal; and in S3 stage, the treatment effect will be much less than before, liver fibrosis is not easy to be reversed; as for the most serious degree of liver fibrosis to S4 stage, actually already belong to cirrhosis, at this time to reverse the part of the liver has been sclerosis is basically impossible.  Therefore, for patients with chronic liver disease, it is especially important to detect the first signs of liver fibrosis and actively treat them in a timely manner.  If hepatitis B is the other side of the river and cirrhosis is the other side of the river, then liver fibrosis is a bridge that connects this side and the other side. This bridge is very special: from this bank to the bridge, you can reach the other bank; before you have reached the other bank, you can return; but once you reach the other bank, you can not return the same way from then on.  If hepatitis B treatment is not timely, or treatment is not reasonable, then liver fibrosis will occur. This time there is a way, if the treatment is timely and appropriate, can also be liver fibrosis control, or even reverse. However, if liver fibrosis occurs and does not receive timely and effective treatment, then liver fibrosis will progress further and become irreversible cirrhosis.  Common early symptoms of cirrhosis may include fatigue and weakness, loss of appetite with nausea and vomiting (mostly caused by disorders of gastrointestinal secretion and absorption in chronic hepatitis liver damage). When the condition is severe, the synthesis of prothrombin and other coagulation factors is affected by the decrease of liver function, and spider moles, epistaxis, bleeding gums, purple spots or bleeding spots on the skin and mucous membranes often appear. If any of these conditions occur, then you should go to the hospital for further examination and treatment.  For the treatment of liver fibrosis, removing the primary cause is the most effective way to fight fibrosis and should be done for different reasons such as viral, metabolic, drug, alcohol and autoimmune. The most effective treatment for alcoholic liver disease is to stop drinking, and for drug hepatitis to stop using liver-damaging drugs or toxins. Autoimmune hepatitis is treated with immunosuppressive drugs that not only reduce inflammation but also have antifibrotic effects. In chronic viral hepatitis with persistent, recurrent activity, the fundamental treatment is antiviral.  The second is anti-inflammatory therapy, because fibrosis is the body’s self-repair response to tissue damage caused by inflammation, long-term, recurrent liver inflammatory response is the prerequisite for the formation of liver fibrosis, and continuous effective anti-inflammatory therapy and suppression of inflammatory response is an important treatment to inhibit the progression of fibrosis.  A healthy diet and lifestyle are crucial to the reversal of liver fibrosis. It is important to keep emotionally stable, to combine movement and stillness, to take rest, not to strain, not to stay up late, to quit smoking and to avoid alcohol, and to eat a diet low in fat, high in protein, high in vitamins and easy to digest.  To do regular, quantitative, moderate. You can eat more animal protein: milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, lean meat and vegetable protein, mushrooms and algae and soybean products, eat fresh vegetables and fruits, and supplement the necessary vitamin complex, etc. You should avoid spicy and stimulating products and hard and cold food. Only in this way can we get rid of the threat of liver cirrhosis completely.
