Treatment and diagnostics for abroad

Cirrhosis is the final stage of various chronic liver diseases. This disease is one of the most common causes of death among patients aged 35 to 60 years.

Cirrhosis affects people for the following reasons:

• alcohol abuse;
• chronic diseases of the liver and/or biliary tract;
• harm from chemical and pharmacological drugs.

Diagnosis of liver cirrhosis

When treating cirrhosis abroad, it is possible to detect the disease at an early stage thanks to accurate equipment and qualified doctors. Early diagnosis simplifies further treatment of the patient.

The diagnosis of cirrhosis of the liver includes:

• detailed blood test;
• consultation with a hepatologist;
• Ultrasound, CT, MRI;
• tissue biopsy;
• angiography of liver vessels.

Cirrhosis treatment abroad

When treating cirrhosis abroad, the patient is given an optimal individual treatment plan that takes into account all the characteristics of his body and disease. If the disease is detected at an early stage, then changing habits, lifestyle and taking medications as prescribed by a doctor will help in restoring damaged tissues.

Drug therapy relieves symptoms and reduces the rate of disease development. To prevent intoxication of the body in the treatment of cirrhosis abroad, drugs are prescribed that remove toxins that accumulate in the body due to reduced liver function. To prevent the spread of infections in a weakened organ, therapy can be supplemented with antibiotics.

Surgical treatment of liver cirrhosis

Despite the fact that when treating cirrhosis abroad with medicinal methods, it is possible to slow down the development of the disease and stabilize the patient's condition even in difficult cases, surgical methods are also common.

To normalize blood flow pressure in the portal vein in the treatment of cirrhosis abroad, it may be necessary to install a stent — the thinnest metal frame in the shape of a cylinder to restore the shape of tubular organs.

If the patient has found a suitable liver donor, it is possible to perform a transplant. Cirrhosis treatment abroad makes it possible to perform surgery as efficiently as possible due to pre- and postoperative therapy, which reduces the risk of organ rejection.

New methods

Methods of treating cirrhosis abroad are constantly improving. New techniques:

• Extracorporeal hemocorrection, in which the patient's blood is processed in a special device to modify its components;
• treatment with stem cells, which accelerate the regeneration of damaged areas.
