Cirrhosis Diet Questions

Asked for female, 56 years old from Guwahati

I am suffering from Liver cirrhosis which is recently been diagnosed in the month of January 2017. Reason of cirrhosis in my case is not detected till now by doctors as I mentioned neither alcoholic nor having hepatitis b or c nor fatty liver. Doctors r suspecting it due to auto immune and want to do biopsy to confirm it but they are telling that there r 50-50 chances of confirming it .Since my platelet count is 73000 only and blood takes time to clothing, I am fearful of getting biopsy done. What I should do and is there any other way to confirm auto immune. Please help me and guide me.

Hi lybrate-user
first of all just hang on brother and never get disheartened by the negative things that we doctors keep on telling patients. Cirrhosis is chronic progressive condition and decompensation means that the condition is showing complications- which in your case is obviously ascites.
Most importantly and I cannot overemphasize this more- do not take salt more than 2gms in a day.
Your ascites will increase with more salt. Avoid pickles, processed foods, ketchups, chutneys, ...more

Asked for female, 39 years old from Chennai

My mom aged 63 is diagnosed with liver cirrhosis early stage. She is been advised with taking rifagut 550 and diet restrictions. The problem is she has a burning stomach after taking this tablet and a constant pain below the stomach. Is it good for her to continue this tablet? Is there any way to reverse this condition or prevent it by getting worse further. She has non-alcoholic fatty liver cirrhosis. Note: her mom had the same liver cirrhosis problem.

Dr. Vishesh Sareen89%(12379 ratings)

It is a progressive disease, developing slowly over many years. If it is allowed to continue, the buildup of scar tissue can eventually stop liver function.if she is feeling stomach pain nd burning you must const your doctor who prescribed the medicine. These are the side effects of medicine. She may take any acidity medicine with this medicine.

The severity of fibrosis helps indicate the prognosis in people who have chronic viral hepatitis. Liver biopsy is the most reliable way to detect and stage (determine the amount of) fibrosis and to identify the disorder causing fibrosis. Biopsy is often done when the diagnosis is unclear.
