Why is the liver enlarged in the early stages of cirrhosis?
In the early stages of cirrhosis, it is generally characterized by an enlarged liver and spleen. If it progresses to the middle and late stages, reaching the decompensated phase, the liver will significantly decrease in size, while the spleen will continue to enlarge. In the early stages of cirrhosis, timely treatment is essential. Identifying the cause of cirrhosis and then actively treating it is crucial to prevent the condition from worsening or causing complications. If early-stage cirrhosis is not treated promptly and progresses, the decompensated stage of cirrhosis may lead to complications such as ascites, lower limb edema, severe upper gastrointestinal bleeding, jaundice, and may even progress to liver cancer. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment are very important.
