Description
Summary:Conclusion: In all three patients, there was an improvement in quality of life and a reduction in symptoms such as abdominal pain, transpyloric diameter, pedal oedema, and fatigue, as well as a significant reduction in liver function test parameters. Decompensated liver cirrhosis can be managed with an Ayurvedic treatment regimen that includes Ayurvedic medications, Panchakarma, along with a proper diet regimen with salt and fluid restrictions. This case series concludes that while cirrhosis is not completely reversible, fibrosis could be reversed. The support of modern medicine for monitoring and emergency care remains paramount. Furthermore, proper documentation of all the observations can help in assessing the outcomes of Ayurveda therapies and aid in developing integrative protocols for the management of liver cirrhosis in the future.
