Abstract

Liver cirrhosis is a chronic progressive liver disease. A non-invasive diagnostic technique for hepatic fibrosis combined with liver biochemistry, molecular biology, and immunology, imaging study, liver histopathological assessment, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiation can accurately diagnose the cause, severity of disease, and determine the prognosis. In clinical practice of Western medicine, there are five-stages of cirrhosis classification, with periods 1 and 2 being compensated stage, and periods 3 to 5 being decompensated stage. Etiological treatment and anti-hepatic fibrosis treatment are the basic measures for different disease severity and complications. Comprehensive application of modern medical technology and traditional Chinese medicine differentiation therapy can improve the treatment effect and survival rate.
