Is cirrhosis hereditary?

Liver cirrhosis is a common disease in my country. If it is treated in time, the condition can be well controlled. If you do not pay attention to your diet and do not remember the treatment, the condition will be aggravated. Many people are afraid of passing it on to the next generation after they have liver cirrhosis. How serious will it be for future generations? So, is liver cirrhosis hereditary?

Generally speaking, cirrhosis can be caused by many reasons, such as viral cirrhosis, cirrhosis caused by alcoholic poisoning, circulatory and metabolic disorders, and schistosomiasis, etc. Generally speaking, cirrhosis is not hereditary, so there is no need to worry about this problem. However, it should be noted that because it is caused by many reasons, it is still possible to be transmitted. If it is caused by hepatitis B or hepatitis C, let’s take a look at the related situations together.

1First, cirrhosis is a chronic diffuse liver disease that can be caused by a variety of diseases. The early symptoms are similar to those of chronic hepatitis. It is necessary to pay attention to detect problems in time and actively receive treatment to avoid affecting your health and developing into an incurable stage, which would be too late for regret.

2 Secondly, cirrhosis is not hereditary, but it may be contagious. For example, alcoholic cirrhosis is not contagious, but if it is caused by hepatitis B or hepatitis C, you must pay attention as it may be contagious. You must do a good job of prevention in this regard to avoid infections that affect your health.

3Finally, although cirrhosis will not be inherited, it should be noted that the causes of cirrhosis are somewhat hereditary, such as Wilson's disease. Family members should pay attention to related issues, so it is recommended to go to the hospital for regular check-ups and do a good job of protecting the liver.

Note:

In daily life, you should pay attention to regular check-ups, strengthen physical exercise, eat a balanced diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, avoid fried, greasy and irritating foods, maintain good living habits, avoid bad habits such as staying up late, and adjust your emotions.
