Suggest remedy for hepatic cirrhosis
Patient: What more can I do for hepatic lipidosis/cirrhosis. I m on diuretics, (don t do much), can hardly eat food but am putting on wt. Too tired to do any more exercise than shuffle around the park on good days. That helps more than anything but it s very hot here now so I ve stopped walking unless I get up very early. Doctor: Welcome at HCM    I have gone through your query and being your physician i completely understand your health  concerns.What is ur age? For how long u are suffering from it? Any other associated problem? like diabetes or hypertension? Any history of TB in past or exposure to TB? Are u running fever? Any other lymph node swelling in ur body? what is the cause of cirrhosis? alcohol? HCV  ? HBV?   As far as cirrhosis is concerned, u cant reverse it but u can manage it by changing the life styles.  Avoid salt , and meat.  you can use meat once a week like fish.   Use regular ISPAHGOL husk to prevent the constipation. try to eat fresh vegetables along with fresh fruits and juices.   use VIT k after every three months.  Dont skip your medications like ALDACTONE , INDERAL.     You can use multivitamin and liver tonics like SILLLIVER daily.  Meet your HEPATOLOGIST , he will adjust the dose of medicines for you and make proper workup.         If i am ur attending physcian i will get ur FBC LFTS S, ALBUMIN, PT/INR ,ABDOMINAL ULTRASOUND every six months to estimate the severity of cirrhosis Get your ENDOSCOPY and COLONOSCOPY done every two years             Meanwhile stay calm and use acetaminophen to relieve pain   Get well soon Hope your query is adequately addressed if you still have any feel free to ask   RegardsDr Saad Sultan
