Basic concepts of liver cirrhosisCirrhosis of the liver is unimorphous morphological response of liver tissue to chronic and sustained injury. Clinical presentation depends on sequelae of hepatic parenchimal failure, portal hypertension and pathophysiological mechanisms that are set into action by them - the etiological origin of injury being less important. Almost all organ systems are affected by pathophysiological mechanisms that are set into action. When severe hepatic parenchimal failure is clinically apparent and causes complications of liver cirrhosis, current therapies other than liver transplantation have little impact on mortality rates. Most of the current therapeutic interventions is hence directed on prevention and treatment of portal hypertension as well as its complications. |
