Precautions for patients with chronic hepatitis

1, to abstain from alcohol: alcohol not only directly damages the liver and aggravates the disease, but also can affect the therapeutic effect of antiviral drugs. 2, should pay attention to proper rest and nutrition, reasonable nutrition, maintain a good state of mind: chronic hepatitis patients, do not emphasize absolute bed rest, can take a combination of static and dynamic activities, in the liver function damage is not heavy, you can engage in general household chores, can walk, just do not do very strenuous physical activity. 3, should try to avoid the triggers that cause the aggravation of the disease, such as overexertion, upper respiratory tract infection, improper diet, diarrhea, violent fluctuations of emotions, the application of drugs that damage the liver, etc. In our clinical work, we often encounter recurrence of liver disease or loss of compensated cirrhosis due to the above factors. 4, to build confidence, fully understand the long-term nature of chronic hepatitis treatment. Whether it is chronic hepatitis B or chronic hepatitis C, the time of treatment, especially the time of antiviral drug treatment, in general, the longer the treatment time, the better the treatment effect, the more stable the efficacy. For patients with poor treatment results or late onset of efficacy, confidence should be built and medication should be adhered to. Sometimes the efficacy of treatment is produced in the persistence of treatment. Not taking medication on time not only affects the efficacy, but also increases the difficulty of disease treatment, and for antiviral drugs, it is easy to cause the emergence of drug resistance. 5, to pay full attention to the jaundice deepening of hepatitis patients: hepatitis patients once the jaundice, it means that the liver has obvious inflammation, there is necrosis of liver cells. When hepatitis patients appear deep jaundice should be alert to the possibility of heavy hepatitis due to necrosis of large liver cells. Severe hepatitis is a serious life-threatening disease for the patient. Therefore, when a patient with hepatitis develops jaundice, he should promptly take bed rest and go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. 6, regular review: In addition to checking liver function, B ultrasound should also be checked to observe the size of the liver, the thickening of the spleen and the widening of the portal vein. For antiviral patients should also check the level of viral replication and changes in serological indicators of hepatitis.
