Abstract:
A close collaboration between the general practitioner and the gastroenterologist is necessary to optimize the management of a patient with cirrhosis, a frequent and serious complication of chronic liver diseases. Both the treatment of the etiological factor of liver disease and the surveillance of potential complications of cirrhosis are key issues in the proper management of cirrhosis. Preventive measures aim at keeping the patient in a compensated form of cirrhosis which is associated with a better survival. We address here the updated management strategies regarding the most frequent complications of cirrhosis.
