Liver Cirrhosis Treatment in Johor Bahru

Sirosis Hati

Liver cirrhosis is permanent scarring of the liver caused by long-term liver damage. In Malaysia, the main causes are chronic hepatitis B (very common in the local population), chronic hepatitis C, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) associated with obesity and diabetes. Cirrhosis develops silently over years — by the time symptoms appear, significant liver damage has already occurred. Early detection through liver function tests and hepatitis B screening is critical to preventing progression.

Symptoms of Liver Cirrhosis

✓Fatigue and weakness
✓Loss of appetite and weight loss
✓Jaundice — yellowing of skin and eyes
✓Abdominal swelling (ascites) — fluid accumulation
✓Easy bruising and bleeding
✓Confusion and memory problems in advanced disease (hepatic encephalopathy)

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

See a doctor if you have chronic hepatitis B, a history of heavy alcohol use, obesity with diabetes, or unexplained fatigue with abdominal swelling. Seek urgent care for sudden abdominal swelling, vomiting blood, confusion, or jaundice — these may indicate decompensated cirrhosis requiring hospital admission.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I get liver function tests near Johor Bahru?▼
Klinik Muhibbah in Masai offers liver function tests (LFT), hepatitis B screening, and full blood count as part of a comprehensive liver health check. Same-day results available. Walk-ins welcome — call +60 7-251 1162 or book at movo-x.com/kiosk/muhibbah.
Can liver cirrhosis be reversed?▼
Early stage (compensated) cirrhosis progression can be halted or slowed by treating the underlying cause — starting hepatitis B antiviral treatment, achieving significant weight loss in NAFLD, or stopping alcohol. However, established scar tissue cannot be fully reversed. Early detection is key.
What is the link between hepatitis B and liver cancer?▼
Chronic hepatitis B significantly increases the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer), even without cirrhosis. In Malaysia, hepatitis B is the leading cause of liver cancer. Regular 6-monthly liver ultrasound and AFP blood test are recommended for all hepatitis B carriers to detect early, treatable cancer.
