Details below.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic for your query,
Liver cirrhosis is a chronic disease of the liver wherein scar tissues replace healthy tissues in the liver thus not allowing the liver to function optimally.In cirrhosis healthy liver tissue is replaced with scar tissue, eventually preventing the liver from functioning properly. The scar tissue blocks the flow of blood through the liver and slows the processing of nutrients, hormones, drugs, and naturally produced toxins.
Treatment of cirrhosis depends on the degree of liver damage as well as the underlying cause. Conventional treatment of cirrhosis in Hepatitis B consist of proper nutrition and possibly the use of the drug interferon and other antiretroviral medications. Interferon is often combined with an antiviral drug called ribavirin, which can improve chances for a cure.
In advanced cases of cirrhosis, when the liver ceases to function, a liver transplant may be the only treatment option.
For assisting digestion silymarin a potent anti oxidant and a liver rejenuvator should be taken daily as a supplement.
External digestive enzymes like Papain etc should be taken to help liver in digesting food.
A probiotic should be taken regularly to help in digesting and absorbing food properly.
Take Fybogel husk-Fybogel sachets and Fybogel Hi-Fibre sachets both contain the active ingredient ispaghula husk, which is a type of medicine called a bulk-forming laxative. Ispaghula is a type of fibre. It swells when it comes into contact with fluid in the gut and thus increases the volume of the faeces.It increases the bulk in your stool, an effect that helps to cause movement of the intestines and helps in digestion.
Fibroscan is not a gold standard test to diagnose cirrhosis and level of fibrosisMore over there are two reports which are totally different from each other,So to tell the exact cause proper investigations are required.
Tests adviced are-
Magnetic resonance elastography or transient elastography-A noninvasive imaging tests detect hardening or fibrosis of the liver.
Biopsy.-Used to identify the severity and extent of liver damage.
Treatment options depends on the result of Resonance scan and biopsy.
Thanks.
