Lower white blood cells caused by cirrhosis need to be treated.
Cirrhosis patients will have lowered white blood cells due to hypersplenism, white blood cells will be destroyed.
White blood cells can defend the body against bacterial invasion. If leukopenia is not treated in time, the immunity gradually decreases, and infections are easy to occur, and may even cause sepsis, which can be life-threatening in serious cases, so it needs to be treated in time.
1. Treatment for the cause of the disease: Cirrhosis causing a mild decline in white blood cells can be treated with antiviral and hepatoprotective drugs, such as lamivudine, entecavir, silymarin, etc., and drugs to improve liver fibrosis, such as soft liver decoction pills of soft liver of turtle shell, and at the same time, we should pay attention to the possible complications, such as ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, etc. If the decline is severe, we can have a treatment for the disease, which can lead to infection and even life-threatening in serious cases. If the leukocytes are severely decreased, splenectomy or splenic artery embolization can be done to relieve the cause of leukopenia.
2. Symptomatic treatment: medicines such as Ricodrine tablets and Diyu Lianbai tablets can be used to promote leukocytosis.
Liver cirrhosis caused by leukopenia should go to the hospital in time to do the relevant examination, under the guidance of the doctor according to the examination results of symptomatic treatment.
