Mr. Zhang, a 55-year-old construction worker, suffered from hepatitis B for more than 30 years. His condition began to worsen three years ago, as he began to feel more and more tired and to show edema (e.g face, leg). Unfortunately, the disease had progressed to the stage of liver cirrhosis.
As Mr. Zhang's condition became more and more serious, complications included gastric fundus esophageal varices, edema of lower limbs and ascites, which seriously affected his everyday life.
