Cirrhosis Why does the liver shrink?

Liver cirrhosis patients with liver volume reduction reasons include serious disease progression, combined with liver congestion, combined with liver cysts, etc.

1, serious disease progression

cirrhosis refers to liver tissue diffuse fibrosis, pseudolobules and regenerative nodules appear disease. Generally, the liver will increase in the early stage, and when entering the late stage, due to a large number of liver cell necrosis, the number of liver cells decreased, and liver regeneration function decreased, can promote the liver volume reduction.

2, combined with liver congestion

cirrhosis patients with liver congestion, at this time liver local venous blood flow obstruction, venule and capillary blood volume increased, leading to poor blood circulation in other parts of the liver, liver volume reduction, right upper abdominal persistent pain and other symptoms.

3, combined with liver cysts

If cirrhosis combined with liver cysts, cyst volume gradually increased, will oppress local tissues, leading to poor blood circulation, liver volume reduction phenomenon.
