Keep these four points in mind to easily determine whether hepatitis B has progressed to cirrhosis
1.Pay attention to aminotransferase levels: when aminotransferases are elevated more than twice as much as normal, liver injury should be suspected. Normal aminotransferase values are between 0-40u l, if mildly elevated, it may be a physiological reaction, and it can be restored after adjusting work and rest; If it is more than 2 times, it is important to seek medical attention in time to avoid delay**.
2.Abnormal spleen thickness: spleen thickness is an important indicator of cirrhosis. In general, the thickness of the spleen does not exceed 4 cm in healthy men and 3 cm in healthy women5cm。If the spleen thickness is greater than 4 cm, cirrhosis should be considered.
3.Liver elasticity test: Liver stiffness can be known through liver elasticity testing. The normal liver elasticity value is 7Within 3kPa, more than this value indicates fibrosis; If it exceeds 124kPa, early cirrhosis should be considered.
4.Inner diameter of portal vein trunk: The inner diameter of portal vein trunk is a key indicator for judging liver cirrhosis. The normal portal vein trunk should have an internal diameter of less than 13 cm, if it exceeds this value, indicates widening of the portal vein and a high likelihood of cirrhosis.
In conclusion, paying attention to the above four indicators can help to detect the signs of hepatitis B cirrhosis early and take timely interventions to maintain liver health.
