Cirrhosis can be controlled to a stable state for a long time after active treatment in the compensated stage, at which time it usually has little impact on life expectancy; however, the development of cirrhosis to the decompensated stage can cause complications, which have a greater impact on life expectancy. Cirrhosis is a pathological stage in which various chronic liver diseases have developed to a certain degree, characterized by chronic inflammation of the liver, diffuse hepatic fibrosis, pseudo lobe formation, etc. Cirrhosis is usually divided into compensated stage and decompensated stage. Cirrhosis is usually categorized into compensated and decompensated stages, with most of the compensated stage having no obvious symptoms or mild symptoms. Through rest and active treatment, the progress of the disease can be slowed down and the lesions can be reversed, which has little effect on life expectancy. The decompensated stage of cirrhosis can cause various complications, such as hepatic decompensation, portal hypertension, gastrointestinal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, hepatorenal syndrome and so on. If not effectively controlled, the prognosis is poor or even life-threatening, which has a greater impact on life expectancy.
