Early cirrhosis patients, can be slightly abdominal discomfort, loss of appetite and diarrhea and other manifestations, through active treatment, it is possible to achieve lesion reversal, the patient’s prognosis will also be very good, life expectancy can be prolonged, and can even reach the normal aging death. It can be treated through the following aspects, including removing the cause of the disease, such as the treatment for hepatitis virus; protecting liver function, such as taking surgical treatment for biliary obstruction, oral ursodeoxycholic acid or reduced glutathione and other medications; and avoiding protein decomposition by promoting enteral nutrition.
