Condition Overview & Pathology

Liver Cirrhosis is a medical abnormality targeting the liver where healthy liver cells are slowly replaced by irreversible scar tissue. It develops over time due to chronic infections like viral Hepatitis B & C, excessive alcohol consumption, or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

As liver scarring progresses, liver function deteriorates, impairing nutrient processing, toxin filtration, and blood clotting protein synthesis.

Early detection and specialized clinical management by senior hepatologists slow disease progression, treat portal hypertension complications (variceal bleeding & ascites), and screen for early liver tumor lesions.

Care Hospital Bathinda offers comprehensive liver evaluation including non-invasive FibroScan elastography, ultrasound, biochemical liver function testing, and liver transplant counseling.

Common Signs & Symptoms to Watch For

Jaundice (Yellowing of eyes & skin)
Loss of appetite & rapid weight loss
Persistent physical fatigue & weakness
Abdominal swelling & fluid retention (Ascites)
Swelling in lower legs and ankles (Edema)
Persistent skin itching & easy bruising/bleeding

Recommended Diagnostic Workups

FibroScan 502 Touch (Liver Stiffness Assessment)
Abdominal Ultrasound & Color Doppler Radiology
Liver Function Tests (LFT), Serum Albumin & Prothrombin Time
Viral Hepatitis Serology (HBsAg, Anti-HCV)
Upper GI Endoscopy (Screening for Esophageal Varices)

Treatment & Management Protocols

Lifestyle & Dietary Modification: Low-sodium diet, complete cessation of alcohol, and high-protein nutritional therapy.
Medical Therapy: Diuretics for ascites fluid, antiviral medicines for Hepatitis B & C, and beta-blockers for portal hypertension.
Endoscopic Band Ligation (EVL): Emergency & elective endoscopic banding for bleeding esophageal varices.
Liver Transplant Guidance: Comprehensive evaluation for advanced terminal cirrhosis candidates.
