Can patients with liver failure be cured

Liver failure is actually quite dangerous, with a mortality rate of up to 70%. So in order to reduce the threat to our lives, we must learn to eliminate the causes, avoid rough foods, and pay attention to the balance of water and electrolytes.

1. Eliminate the cause

Beware of inducements. The main measures are: strictly limit protein intake, while limiting protein you can increase nutrients such as glucose and vitamins; to prevent rupture and bleeding of the lower esophageal veins, patients should be strictly prohibited from eating rough food; use sedatives and anesthetics with caution, even if using the lowest amount, be alert to the possibility of drug accumulation.

2. Reduce blood ammonia

For many years, drugs such as glutamate and arginine have been commonly used clinically to lower blood ammonia, but the results have been unsatisfactory.

3. Enhance the function of normal neurotransmitters

Currently, levodopa is mostly used because it can easily pass through the blood-brain barrier, enter the central nervous system, and be converted into normal neurotransmitters to exert its effects.

4. Pay attention to water and electrolyte balance, hemostasis, etc.

In addition, mixed amino acid preparations containing high-branched-chain amino acids, low-aromatic amino acids and arginine can also be used to treat hepatic encephalopathy by restoring blood amino acid balance.
