OVERVIEW

Cirrhosis is a chronic liver disease that occurs when the liver is damaged and scarred, leading to loss of liver function. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including alcohol abuse, chronic viral hepatitis, and fatty liver disease. Cirrhosis can lead to serious complications, including liver failure and liver cancer. To get appropriate treatment you can consult with the best gastroenterology liver specialist in Kolhpaur.

Beyond its renowned functions, our specialists meticulously unravel the intricate metabolic symphony of the liver, addressing an array of conditions ranging from fatty liver disease to viral hepatitis. With a personalized approach, treatments are finely tailored to your unique profile, encompassing disease stage and overall well-being.

Cirrhosis can be caused by a variety of factors, including long-term alcohol abuse, chronic viral hepatitis (such as hepatitis B or C), fatty liver disease, autoimmune hepatitis, and inherited liver diseases. Other factors that can contribute to the development of cirrhosis include obesity, diabetes, and certain medications.

The diagnosis of cirrhosis typically begins with a physical exam and a thorough medical history. Blood tests may be ordered to evaluate liver function, and imaging tests, such as ultrasound or CT scan, may be used to evaluate the liver and look for signs of scarring. A liver biopsy may also be performed to confirm the diagnosis.

Treatment for cirrhosis typically involves addressing the underlying cause of the disease, such as stopping alcohol consumption or treating viral hepatitis. Medications may be prescribed to manage symptoms and complications of cirrhosis, such as ascites (fluid buildup in the abdomen) or hepatic encephalopathy (brain dysfunction due to liver disease). In some cases, a liver transplant may be necessary to replace a diseased liver with a healthy one. It is important to work with a healthcare professional to determine the most appropriate treatment plan based on the severity and underlying cause of cirrhosis.

It is important to see a doctor if you experience symptoms of cirrhosis, such as fatigue, jaundice, abdominal pain, or swelling in the legs or abdomen. If you have risk factors for cirrhosis, such as a history of alcohol abuse or chronic viral hepatitis, it is important to undergo regular liver function tests and monitoring.
