Hello,
To the question: “How is cirrhosis of the liver decompensated? The doctor would like to answer as follows:
Decompensated cirrhosis is the final stage of cirrhosis. There are two main groups of causes leading to the stage of decompensated cirrhosis: the first is due to severe liver function failure, the second is due to extra-hepatic causes such as infections, electrolyte disorders, ... you need to take your father to the hospital. Hospital for treatment: rule out the causes that lead to decompensated cirrhosis (if any), treat to relieve symptoms (ascites, jaundice, ...).
If you still have questions about the examination and treatment of cirrhosis, you can go to the nearest medical facility or hospital under Vinmec Health System for more detailed examination and advice by doctors. Best regards!
