Abstract | Introduction: Cirrhosis is a common disease with high morbidity and mortality. In industrialised countries, the most common causes of cirrhosis are the alcoholic liver disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and chronic viral hepatitis. Cirrhosis is often diagnosed late, as it can be asymptomatic for a long time. Therefore, hepatopathy screening in high-risk patients and fibrosis surveillance using the ultrasound, in the presence of a chronic hepatopathy are essential. A liver biopsy is necessary to confirm the diagnosis. With optimal therapy, in some cases, cirrhosis is preventable and potentially reversible in others. In the stage of decompensation, typically characterised by ascites, patients often die from recurrent infections or hepatocellular carcinoma unless cured by liver transplantation. The prevention and treatment of complications as well as the evaluation of a transplant require cooperation with a centre hospital. |
