The maintenance time of the compensatory phase of cirrhosis mainly depends on whether the cause of cirrhosis is identified and removed, and whether the patient is under the guidance of the doctor to carry out active treatment and proper control, the compensatory phase will not develop further. 1. Whether the cause of cirrhosis is removed or not: the main causes of cirrhosis are viral hepatitis and alcoholic cirrhosis. Cirrhosis caused by viruses such as Hepatitis B virus requires active antiviral treatment, such as tenofovir and other drugs, and generally after active antiviral treatment, the patient’s condition will improve. The compensated stage will not further progress to the decompensated stage. Alcoholic cirrhosis needs to quit drinking immediately and take some liver-protecting drugs such as Metadoxine under the guidance of the doctor. 2. Whether cirrhosis is actively treated or not: patients diagnosed with cirrhosis need to undergo regular checkups, cooperate with doctors to carry out active treatment, take medication on time, and cultivate a good life habit. Cirrhosis can further develop into liver cancer, so it is necessary to follow the doctor’s advice to actively treat cirrhosis and prevent the situation from deteriorating.
