Treating Big Three Yang: What's the difference between antivirus and protecting liver and diminishing inflammation?

There are differences and connections between antiviral therapy and liver protection and anti-inflammatory therapy.

In the case of liver function fluctuation, we say that the first choice of treatment should be liver protection and anti-inflammatory treatment. There are many drugs on the market, and their prices are relatively cheap. The drug you want to choose is the enzyme-lowering and jaundice-relieving drug prescribed by the attending doctor, so you don't need to choose too many other drugs. However, anti-inflammatory drugs are actually a palliative drug, which is used to decompose the increase of enzymes in acute phase and stabilize the visceral functions of patients such as liver. When the liver function tends to be stable, we can treat patients with antiviral therapy (of course, antiviral therapy can also be performed when the liver function is unstable, which is actually a primary and secondary problem). Antiviral therapy can be regarded as radical treatment because it directly attacks the virus in the body. Of course, due to the limitations of modern doctors and drugs, so far, antiviral treatment can not eliminate all viruses, but only control the viruses in what we often say is controllable.

To sum up, antiviral treatment is to strive for cure, and anti-inflammatory treatment is to strive for improvement of acute symptoms. The two are equally important, and the key is not to reverse the primary and secondary.

Let's talk about your father's problem again. Generally, when kanzo sensei prepares prescriptions, it will prepare some auxiliary drugs, such as coenzyme and vitamin C, which will play a certain role in enhancing the body's resistance. In addition, the doctor asked your father to take albumin, which shows that your father's liver function has been poor. I don't know if he has had a liver puncture, and whether he has reached the decompensated stage of liver cirrhosis. I can't say more about this. Lamivudine must listen to the attending doctor. Of course, if it is decompensated, there is no need to eat!
