What is the most effective way to treat liver disease?

The occurrence of liver disease must focus on correct treatment, and in the treatment method, we must pay attention to it, do not blindly believe in standardized treatment, and must not blindly believe in some folk remedies. Seeking medical treatment in a hurry is the most influential to the treatment and recovery of the disease.

1. Don’t blindly believe in standardized treatment methods

The liver is the organ with the most active metabolism in the human body. There are more than 500 biochemical reactions taking place in the liver, and it contains more than 700 enzymes. It is the most important component of the body's defense system. It is this complexity and diversity that determines that there is no "standard" or "unified" treatment plan for any chronic liver disease, and we cannot believe those so-called "unified" treatment plans that are promoted in order to sell drugs.

2. Do not use folk remedies indiscriminately, and use scientific and standardized treatment

"Trying to find a cure in desperation" is a bad mentality among many liver disease patients when seeking medical treatment. Because this will not only cause financial burden on the patient's family, but also delay the best time for treatment of the disease. According to a survey, 68% of liver disease patients have experienced the abuse of folk remedies. In pursuit of treatment effects, some hepatitis B virus carriers believe in folk remedies instead of going to regular hospitals, which results in wasting a lot of time and money and increasing the burden on the liver. Therefore, patients with liver disease must remember not to be blind, scientific and standardized treatment is the fundamental!

3. Understanding the condition is the key to effective treatment

For clear and single pathogenic factors, etiological treatment is the fundamental method. However, for complex and unclear causes of disease, we cannot simply "treat the head for a headache and the foot for a foot pain", but should consider the whole picture comprehensively.

Therefore, for a disease with complex causes such as chronic liver disease, anti-pathogen treatment should not be isolated. Supportive treatment and symptomatic treatment are also necessary, but the cause must be traced. The basic treatment principle should be "treating the symptoms in an emergency and treating the root cause in a chronic manner". Treatment methods should be considered from the root of the disease, and we should not assume that the disease is cured just because the symptoms have been relieved.

4. Find the right doctor and choose the right treatment

Many cases still lack specific symptoms after the lesions have gone through the "trilogy" of chronic liver disease - cirrhosis - hepatocellular malignancy, so further diagnosis and treatment should be carried out based on laboratory examination indicators. Industry insiders believe that when there are identifiable symptoms, "symptom diagnosis" should be given priority; if the clinical manifestations are non-specific, "disease diagnosis" is appropriate, and it is best to combine "symptom diagnosis" with disease diagnosis.
