Treatment of liver cirrhosis in Germany

Treatment of liver cirrhosis, regardless of its stage, will not help you fully recover, but will only reduce the severity of symptoms. This is due to the fact that the disease is characterized by irreversible changes in the liver, the replacement of its destroyed cells with scar tissue.

Reasons for development

You cannot become infected with cirrhosis. It occurs for other reasons:

1. Viral hepatitis. Especially its forms such as B, C, D, G (it was discovered quite recently).
2. Biliary tract pathologies.
3. Malfunctions of the immune system.
4. Portal hypertension.
5. Venous congestion in the liver.
6. Chemical poisoning.
7. Long-term use of certain medications.
8. Alcohol abuse for 10 years or more.

It is worth noting that in some cases the reasons remain unclear.

How is cirrhosis treated?

Treatment of liver cirrhosis is selected on a strictly individual basis, based on the general condition of the patient, symptoms, and severity of the disease. But there are a number of general methods. We are talking about drug therapy, eliminating the cause and provoking factors, restoring the functionality of the organ. Also, in the treatment of liver cirrhosis, a diet is prescribed, according to which it is necessary to limit the consumption of foods high in protein.
