Treatment
Liver damage from cirrhosis cannot be reversed, but treatment can stop or delay
further progression and reduce complications. Treatment depends on the cause of
cirrhosis and any complications a person is experiencing. For example, cirrhosis
caused by alcohol abuse is treated by abstaining from alcohol. Treatment for
hepatitis-related cirrhosis involves medications used to treat the different types of
hepatitis, such as interferon for viral hepatitis and corticosteroids for autoimmune
hepatitis. Cirrhosis caused by Wilson disease, in which copper builds up in organs, is
treated with medications to remove the copper. These are just a few examples—
treatment for cirrhosis resulting from other diseases depends on the underlying
cause. In all cases, regardless of the cause, following a healthy diet and avoiding
alcohol are essential because the body needs all the nutrients it can get, and
alcohol will only lead to more liver damage. Light physical activity can help stop or
delay cirrhosis as well.
Treatment will also include remedies for complications. For example, for ascites and
edema, the doctor may recommend a low-sodium diet or the use of diuretics, which
are drugs that remove fluid from the body. Antibiotics will be prescribed for
infections, and various medications can help with itching. Protein causes toxins to
form in the digestive tract, so eating less protein will help decrease the buildup of
toxins in the blood and brain. The doctor may also prescribe laxatives to help
absorb the toxins and remove them from the intestines.
For portal hypertension, the doctor may prescribe a blood pressure medication such
as a beta-blocker. If varices bleed, the doctor may either inject them with a clotting
agent or perform a so-called rubber-band ligation, which uses a special device to
compress the varices and stop the bleeding.
When complications cannot be controlled or when the liver becomes so damaged
from scarring that it completely stops functioning, a liver transplant is necessary. In
liver transplantation surgery, a diseased liver is removed and replaced with a
healthy one from an organ donor. About 80 to 90 percent of patients survive liver
transplantation. Survival rates have improved over the past several years because
of drugs such as cyclosporine and tacrolimus, which suppress the immune system and
keep it from attacking and damaging the new liver.
