Liver Cirrhosis Treatment in Namakkal – CM Best Gastro Care
Liver cirrhosis is a serious, progressive condition characterized by irreversible scarring of liver tissue that disrupts normal liver function. It typically results from chronic liver damage caused by factors such as alcohol abuse, hepatitis B and C infections, fatty liver disease, and certain metabolic or autoimmune disorders.
Stages of Liver Cirrhosis
Compensated Cirrhosis: In this stage, although scarring is present, liver function is maintained, and symptoms may not be noticeable.
Decompensated Cirrhosis: This advanced stage involves significant liver dysfunction, leading to visible complications such as jaundice, ascites, and gastrointestinal bleeding.
Common Symptoms
Swelling in the legs (edema) and abdomen (ascites)
Yellowing of skin and eyes (jaundice)
Fatigue and weakness
Unexplained weight loss or loss of appetite
Easy bruising or bleeding
Confusion, disorientation (hepatic encephalopathy)
Causes of Cirrhosis
Chronic hepatitis B or C
Long-term alcohol consumption
