Hello, doctor would like to answer the question: “Cirrhosis 11.7kpa (f3-f4) if you are tired, eat or have a full stomach, is it decompensated cirrhosis or not? compensate? ” as follows:
To conclude with compensated or decompensated cirrhosis, it is necessary to have complete results of blood biochemical tests and response to diuretic therapy of the patient. Currently, there are almost no drugs that have been shown to reduce the severity of cirrhosis. Most drugs only treat conservatively to slow down the fibrosis process of liver cells in addition to the measures to treat the cause of cirrhosis. Recently, stem cell treatment has been suggested to improve liver cirrhosis. You can go to the nearest medical facility or Vinmec Health System Hospital for more detailed examination and advice by doctors. Best regards!
