ABSTRACT
Cirrhosis of the liver results in portal hypertension, which is a tortuous and dilated portal vein. The hemorrhage of digestive tract caused by dilation and rupture of lower esophagus and gastric fundus is the main cause of death in patients with cirrhosis. The treatment methods of digestive tract hemorrhage in liver cirrhosis include drug therapy, endoscopic hemostasis, interventional therapy to control hemorrhage and surgical hemostasis. These methods are mainly used to control hemorrhage and solve hypersplenism, but cannot solve the fundamental problem of cirrhosis. Stem cells can repair damaged liver cells and help restore liver function. Under the guidance of B-ultrasound, precise intrahepatic portal vein puncture and infusion of autologous bone marrow nucleated cells can improve cirrhosis through autologous bone marrow stem cells. Little damage to patients, little risk. Cell therapy combined with conventional therapy can treat both the symptoms and the root causes of digestive tract hemorrhage in cirrhosis.
