Liver fibrosis is caused by the liver being affected by various damage factors to cause liver fibrous tissue proliferation, is a necessary stage of the development of liver cirrhosis, if liver fibrosis can be detected early, and for liver fibrosis to carry out active and effective **, liver fibrosis can be reversed without progressing to cirrhosis. If you don't have it, fibrosis will gradually progress to cirrhosis over a longer or shorter period of time.
How long does it take for liver fibrosis to become cirrhosis?
Liver fibrosis is the result of chronic damage to the liver, and it is a gradually developing disease that usually takes years or even more than a decade to progress to cirrhosis. However, this is not an absolute rule, as individual differences and different ** can affect the rate at which the disease progresses. Some patients may progress to cirrhosis in a shorter period of time, which may take as little as a few years, while others may not develop significant cirrhosis symptoms until decades later.
The rate at which liver fibrosis progresses to cirrhosis depends on a variety of factors, including ** (such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, alcoholic liver disease, etc.), individual genetic factors, dietary Xi, lifestyle, complications, etc. In general, the earlier liver fibrosis is detected and effective** measures are taken, the more the progression of the disease can be delayed.
Can liver fibrosis be reversed?
Through related studies, liver fibrosis is not immutable, but a reversible pathological process. Because liver fibrosis is not an isolated disease, a variety of chronic liver diseases can cause liver fibrosis. As long as appropriate, active, effective and standardized measures are taken for many chronic liver diseases, many patients with chronic liver diseases and fibrosis will not continue to develop, and can even be reversed.
The key to the reversal:
1.First of all, it should be actively searched, and then according to **targeted** to remove the factors of liver damage, so as to stop the progression of liver fibrosis. Common causes of liver fibrosis include viral hepatitis, fatty liver, alcoholic liver disease, drug-induced hepatitis, autoimmune liver disease, hereditary metabolic liver disease, schistosomiasis, etc.
2.Boosts immunity. At the same time, the patient's immunity will be relatively poor, and the doctor will help the patient improve the immune system and help the liver to recover health. It is necessary to replenish trace elements and minerals to replenish nutrients for the body and establish a sound immune system.
3.Lifestyle changes and the establishment of healthy Xi habits are also essential to reverse liver fibrosis. Improvements in things including a balanced diet, moderate exercise, adequate rest, and mental health can improve the overall health of the body, which can help reverse liver fibrosis.
4.Regular re-examination, liver fibrosis is a pathophysiological process that is constantly evolving. In the process of **, it is necessary to have regular reexaminations to see if there is a reversal and whether liver fibrosis has become more serious. Some patients can reverse the success, some patients have no way to reverse the success, if it has developed into cirrhosis, the current ** regimen is not suitable, and the ** regimen needs to be adjusted.
